I totally understand this. I used to do CM work and support stuff, and took the first chance I got to switch to a technical role.
It takes a special type of person to not be permanently fucked up by some of the stuff that gets said and done. I have the utmost respect for the CMs that are able to brush that stuff off over and over again. Cause I sure as shit can't
Especially the bit about publishers making bad decisions and being unable to even talk about it. That stuff hurts
No, it's shitting on blockchain too. The only options are "don't use blockchain" and "stop making crypto" which is misguided. I agree with the sentiment about crypto, not about blockchain
OK but there are actually great uses for blockchain that are completely disconnected from anything you typically see
For example, banks may begin using blockchain for maintaining their internal ledgers. It will help solve a ton of issues around reconciling the transactions from all over the globe
Blockchain has reasonable uses. Really good ones. Crypto and nft bros just completely ruined the image of it
EDIT: I love all the comments demonstrating how little people understand about blockchain. Bitcoin was not the first blockchain, nor is its design the only type of blockchain. Assuming that all blockchain looks like the crypto/nft paradigm is just showing your ignorance.
Fortunately, there are only a handful of states that actually have a chance to alter the outcome and several of those states will have a lot of conservatives going "wtf was that?" Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin are the four I expect would see the most suppressed republican voter turnout from this train wreck of a speech
Yup. Exactly this. Telephony is reasonably good (but not great) as a way to filter out the minority of high-risk users. You can learn a lot about a phone number through well-known resources. VeriSign's business is booming for a reason.
Good. They deserve the support. And unfortunately these companies have already dealt with harassment from these lunatics and can provide useful guidance on how to handle them.
I really hope none of their staff are scared away from the industry, even though they have every right to be under the circumstances.
Will, first and foremost, these were devs not CMs. Shouldn't have been posting in the first place for exactly this reason.
But in my experience in the industry, it's never worth the risk to try to look cool. You lose more often than you win, even when you think it's the right time. Because even if people agree with the sentiment, there will always be people who object to the tone itself and that tips the scales against you
