Ian Henry started his career at Warby Parker and Trello, building
consumer apps for millions of users. Now he writes
high-performance tools for a small set of experts on Jane
Street’s options desk. In this episode, Ron and Ian explore what
it’s like writing code at a company that has been “on its own
parallel universe software adventure for the last twenty years.”
Along the way, they go on a tour of Ian’s whimsical and
sophisticated side projects—like Bauble, a playground for
rendering trippy 3D shapes using signed distance functions—that
have gone on to inform his work: writing typesafe frontend code
for users who measure time in microseconds and prefer their UIs
to be “six pixels high.”
