Development bounties are in a weird spot right now. Anything that can be spec-ed as a bounty can probably be delegated to AI with about as much trust as a rando on the internet. You need a trusted human to verify work.

I feel like I just narrowly avoided working at Coinbase. First they wouldn’t do remote and I didn’t want to leave NYC. Then they wanted people not to talk about “politics” and I had no idea how that would work as someone whose identity is constantly politicized by conservatives.

A side effect of everyone getting to use AI is people will report results from the most wildly misconfigured experiments.

Seems like if you don’t have a positive inner monologue it’s easy to get one shotted by sycophantic AI
