The "dawg I chatgpt'd the license" tweet was absolutely egregious.
Honestly it also reflects equally badly on Coinbase if they were paying these guys $300k.
One positive outcome is that this might have cured a lot of people's imposter syndrome.
- Dansvidania 2y agoeven working face to face with relatively incompetent people has never helped with my imposter syndrome. If anything this is a stark reminder of the hiring bubble we were in the past few years..
- DonHopkins 2y agoThe bad reflection goes both ways: Working for Coinbase already reflects badly on anyone no matter what they're paid.
- rlnvlc 2y agoHow so?
- kibibu 2y agoOne might hold the position that crypto coin companies (particularly those working with POW coins) add very little value to the world in exchange for significant social and environmental cost. One who held this position would see working at Coinbase as an indicator of a moral failing.
- DonsDiscountGas 2y agoI imagine coinbase has a legal department and these guys were paid to code. Using chatgpt to write a license is a ridiculously dumb thing to do since there are so many public templates to choose from, it sounds like they're just overly enthusiastic about AI.
- kevinmchugh 2y agoI think there's a line where AI enthusiasm becomes disdain for human expertise. If you can't be bothered to learn about licenses, what else are you just going to assume chatgpt can figure out for you?
- kibibu 2y agoIt was less work to just leave the license alone
- aster0id 2y agoI've interviewed for Coinbase and it was a shit show. The recruiter initially said my interviews went well but then never got back to me, even after me reaching out multiple times. Plus there are lots of reports from people working there that things are held together by strings and glue, and the work life balance is terrible.
- appendix-rock 2y agoSo, “it was a shit show” was “the recruiter ghosted me”?
- toneyG 2y agothat is indeed one of the signs that a recruitment process is a shitshow

- tech-historian 2y agoThey also lied about having 100+ contributors to PearAI.
- ActionHank 2y agoThis had some real SBF playing lol during meetings vibes. It's been said that YC invests in the founders and not the ideas, these oranges don't seem worth the squeeze.
- ErikBjare 2y agoI thought the crazy part was "I don't have time for legal", but he did have time to change the license, lol.
