I don't want to live in a world where I have to track down and personally inspect the factories and farms that produce my food.

If I deposit cash at a member bank that the government says is compliant with their rules and regulations, that should not imply any risk taking on my side.

If I use a payroll provider like rippling that uses SVB as their payment rails, I shouldn't have to worry about that.

If I use a service that goes under because they can't fund payroll because of a banking supply chain issue, that seems rather hard to due diligence.

If you honestly hold that position, I suggest you get a little bit of empathy for decision-makers. It will make you a better member of society.

I'm not an engineer, so it's possible there are engineers in my company copying and pasting from stack overflow

Although we have a type system so they are probably adjusting things to fit

But none of our supply chain has restrictive licenses attached, and good faith errors are usually easy to correct way before they go to trial

I know because I have had to sign off on using worse packages when our use case doesn't comply with the license on the best in class package

FTX Contagion 4 years ago

How many of these VCs used their reputations to pump shit coins (which they got along with equity when they invested in these Ponzis) then sold the shit coins to retail investors?

Seems like they sold unregulated securities

I can't renew my driver's license online anymore until I prove my citizenship.

Alright, fine, I have my birth certificate, and I took it to the DPS.

Well I can't just walk in... I have to make an appointment online. Alright, fine...

But appointments are booked solid for 2 months.

So I guess I'm driving with an expired license until then.

It's important to look out for yourself and your career

I'm a founder at a small company, and the current environment has us stagnating a bit

My biggest fear is that our best contributors go elsewhere because we aren't able to fully enable their growth here right now

I've lucked out in terms of how loyal my team is, but loyalty only goes so far, and the business has an obligation to enable the careers of it's contributors

Basically just saying, there are two sides to every deal and if you're not thriving due to environment, you have a responsibility to yourself to find an environment where you will thrive
