am fast as Wall St developer

* I grew fast enough for GS. Compared to other banks, GS has 50% of the headcount for any given workload.
* I was fast enough for the Lab project lead. Their standard is even higher than GS. The Lab project lead didn't complain about my delivery speed though he pointed out Piroz was more experienced and faster.
* Citi senior mgr didn't complain about my delivery speed at all. Not even once. I was working at a comfortable pace.
* I worked alongside Lab49 consultants who are battle tested fast-coders over many years.
* in every job i managed to steal time for self-study - swing, python, secDB, rv, options, c++, non-blocking I/O, c++ debugger, bond math...
* many trading desk dev teams are elite teams with tiny headcounts. I survived some.
* I generally pay more attention to details than other developers. I could, if I want, switch off this attention.

I guess there are super-developers who are really faster in some specific contexts, but overall it's hard to be a fair judge considering quality, prod support capability, error checking, knowledge-transfer, automated-testing, help to other team members, client-orientation, maintenance cost, system flexibility, readability, architecture soundness...
