- I just write Rust that compiles down to a wasm32 target :)

- Allows me to still use IDEs (e.g., VSCode), get great tooling (i.e., cargo) and still have a tidy little binary to use

I'll bite :)

- Stick to the basics to start: Mattermost/Slack for messaging, Github for issues/work, standard tooling (I imagine you might be B2B SaaS? So maybe Node or Python). There's a small chance you're building something that's actually "new" - so just stick with what is tried and true.

- Have an onboarding doc! Even if you don't stick with it, or even if it doesn't make a lot of sense. When do people get paid? Who to go to for HR-like questions? Is there a virtual happy hour on Fridays? How should one communicate on Github/Slack? How do I get my project setup with all proper dependencies, etc. This saves a ton of "Oops, we never actually clarified this" down the road. - This doc is where you help clarify company culture (#NoSmartAssholes) and stuff like this. - This is also where you can set expectations on the role, and what's expected.

- Have work ready to go. It will only take a decent programmer a few hours to get setup (obviously depending on the project, but you mentioned you're small so it's probably just a repo you can clone). Use those Labels on Github issues liberally. Have a slate of "Good first issues" ready to go that can introduce the new hire to all/most areas of the codebase gently :).

- Lastly, vibe is maybe a little more important than technicals at first? Of course there's work to be done, and it needs to be done correctly, but on a really small team being able to have an actual discussion about "What did you do this weekend?" is maybe a bit more important than "Proper tests were not added for this new feature".

TLDR: Use the same comms platforms as everyone else, have a decent onboarding doc, have some work already triaged and ready to go, focus on good vibes and the technical stuff will come :)

This.

What happened is the productivity increases caused by the interwebs cause us to nestle into a local maximum (i.e., where profits are maximized as opposed to productivity).

This is unpopular? XD

Just subscribed. Looks useful!

What does this have at all to do with crypto as a whole? SBF is a single individual. This was a centralized exchange. I'd say CeFI is not really crypto at all. After 2008 was every single U.S. bank corrupt? Downvote.

My family's health, having enough $ to have my basic needs met (and maybe even some non-basic needs), and type systems that keep me from blowing my foot off :)

This this this. Musk isn't trying to win a popularity contest. He's trying to narrow staff down to that 10% that can do 80% and build back from there. A very cutthroat capitalist approach, but was anyone expecting anything else from the guy who ordered TSLA employees back into factories during covid?

Parent is clearly suggesting that the poster is most likely (as you agree) the product of an environment that the overwhelming majority of folks are not. Nothing wrong with someone being set up well by their parents (isn’t that the point?), and nothing wrong with someone pointing out that someone was setup well. And yes, having a stable, well-ish-to-do family that actively encourages the pursuit of a career via higher education is a pretty remarkable thing. #perspective

This is almost like an every day thing at this point :/

Agreed. I don’t understand all of the “Can’t believe I have to pay (X < $10) for $service”.
