They are experienced software developers coming from $300K jobs at Coinbase. As experienced developers they know the requirements in the Apache License 2.0. As former employees at highly regulated Fintech companies like Coinbase they know better than letting ChatGPT make up new legal texts.
They are cynical manipulators hiding behind a made up fictive "careless Gen Z tech bros" image.
Um.
I mean... crypto companies are well known for being chock full of decent and honest employees who aren’t zealots or bandwagon jumpers in any way, shape or form.
Just like a lot of recently created “AI” companies.
I’ve worked at a company with hundreds of devs where I caught an obvious error (a reference to a section that did not exist) in the pre-employment agreement. To imply that most devs are carefully reading documentation in general, much less legalese, is laughable.
The compensation is on the low-end when it comes to what Coinbase pays to its employees. They wronged their hires on multiple occasions with dilutions too. Many of these employees had strike prices that were above what Coinbase IPO'd at. They were relying on their options, otherwise their base pay was undermarket.
