personally i’m shocked that a blockchain developer might not be of the absolute first rate

Thing is… I’m more angry at blockchain companies than the developers, even the subrate ones who make mistakes like this. Not every blockchain developer is a true believer; mostly, they’re just people trying to get by, and assuming the best of other people and job opportunities. It’s the way blockchain ecosystem encourages the consumption of the latter that really ticks me off.

Reminds me of that ad for a blockchain dev gig in Toronto at like twice the usual rates.

As someone currently seeking work and discovered I sent a resume with “lorem ipsum” in it, I can relate.

I think I have also gotten job offers like this in the past, some cryptocurrency person was messaging me with a job offer on reddit because of my insightful posts about cryptocurrencies in r/buttcoin. (lol)
