This is great. Thanks for sharing. I echo the author's sentiments and I think you ought to choose better colleagues.

  The article was edited and I hadn't realised. The original version was [0]. And, working in Haskell, I genuinely don't believe there was a better team around!

    As far as I can tell, the only difference is that he names names.
    • exdsq 6y ago
      Yes you're right. Had he not mentioned names I wouldn't have cared as much. Having worked with everyone he mentioned, and knowing how hard they worked & how great they were at what they did, it felt a little too personal attack. Not to mention the author tried to collaborate with said groups on his own decentralised treasury project a while back.

        I don't really care about the details: I do not trust anyone who works with cryptocurrency. I don't care how close you were with them, I simply do not trust them and I will not work with them. I will support the denouncement their work. Cryptocurrency is a disease, and I hold those who proliferate it personally responsible. I do, however, credit the author for denouncing it even after being involved with something similar in the past. That's called personal growth. I won't hold a grudge against your colleagues if they choose a similar path for themselves.
