@shanicucic96@cryptogorilla Constructive feedback: If you change terms after a presale you should in good faith allow people who bought in an optional refund.
@waleswoosh If terms change after the investment round happens, that is shady practice and should immediately qualify for optional refunds. If an investors wishes to stay then that's on them. You can't just change terms after taking people's money.
@resaang@shanicucic96@JirasanOfficial Real. Imagine giving a presale and holding out on TGE for a year while changing terms and doing additional rounds (a year later). The back and forth on Shan's mindset here is worrisome if this is how he plans to run his business.
@ethFRENCHIE Yes to all of this. It's the age old office politics.
Show conviction, but not enough to put your foot in your mouth. Most majors position these days is buy, reuse, build (in that order).
All innovation is on your own time and dime but owned by the company.
@ethFRENCHIE And that's how it should be.
You're right and my mini rant above is a causation of working for a company at the "too big to fail" status. The past couple of years have been hard getting new labor (new grads etc) because of this.
@ethFRENCHIE As a result most majors have stopped hiring new grads, and it's insanely hard to break into tech (low skill roles are all outsourced now).
But...they are hiring mid careers (3-5 yoe), a lot. That's where we align, those who understand and use the tech correctly will prosper. EOT
@ethFRENCHIE Now you have unskilled labor using Gen AI, who don't actually understand what their code does.
This is dangerous and I think will have lots of repercussions in the future for a lot of major companies who use these tactics. (This is almost all big tech btw)
@0xgiveon@ethFRENCHIE Definitely. Which is why employers love gen ai. It gets things to market much faster.
But I think there are very real long term implications to this. I can see a big need for SWEs in 5-10 years to come clean up AI generated technical debt.
@ethFRENCHIE It's damaging their ability to learn and understand what their code is actually doing, and thus critical thinking skills.
It will be *soon* that new grads with SWE degrees don't even know how to problem solve (in code) without a developer assistant. This is bad.
@ethFRENCHIE Generative AI in the developer world is absolutely causing issues in the software development world.
Developers are very quickly gaining a dependency on coding assistants like chatgpt, Copilot, cursor, etc.
