So the conclusive evidence was found with git blame?
- andirk 4y agoThe fact that the software was not audited speaks more about the big names who invested in this clown than the clown himself. So weird how he publicly touted the EXACT OPPOSITE of everything he did and stood for. He may ask the judge for a rebase.
- SanjayMehta 4y agoThe best liars believe their own lies. Having said that, it's evident that SBF was very well connected and the "old boys club" doesn't ask each other questions; "that would be rude, you know." That's probably how he raised so much money in the first place.
- urthor 4y agoSays a lot about the software industry as a whole.
- akavi 4y agoI've been at many startups during a fundraising round, and I don't think I've ever seen or heard of an investor auditing the codebase.
- xwdv 4y agoI offer this as a service. Typically when there’s a big acquisition and an audit of the codebase is needed, I gather up a group of developers each paid about $250/hr to go through the codebase and conduct audits looking for any red flags and giving an estimation of existing technical debt.
- 8note 4y agoThis sounds both really painful and really fun. Is there a line item for "this code feels like there's something wrong, but I can't tell what" ?
- grogenaut 4y agoWhen I did code dilligence, I just add it to a list of possible risks... or areas we'd like deeper investigation. Usually go back over it in follow up.
- dieselgate 4y agoNeither have I but read some stuff about Tesla devs checking out the Twitter codebase or something? It’s ridiculous but that’s the only data point known to me
- jfengel 4y agoThat wasn't due diligence (which he'd waived) but a census of what he'd bought after the fact. They weren't validating the purchase, but helping him plan what to do with it.
- kasey_junk 4y agoI’ve been apart of many code audits as part of acquisitions and fundraising rounds on both sides. I don’t know how prevalent it is but I’ve done it enough times that I don’t bat an eye when it comes up.
