Maybe they should pivot to developing an AI powered suite of software license generation and code rebranding and serial number filing and non-apology apology writing plugins for VSCode, so they can say they eat their own dog food.
Coinbase internally had the `oh anyone who wants to work on crypto would want to work at Coinbase, you are already at Coinbase, wow, look at you, such a good place you have for yourself` speech given out relatively often. Even after employees commented on how they think they are being underpaid.
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.
His apology would sound more authentic and consistent with his previous communications if it were in all lower case with lots of kewl words like "dawg" and abbreviations like "lol" and missing punctuation like kids these days use in their text messages.
Those capital letters and correctly spelled words and full stops come off as so passive aggressive.
Otherwise it painfully looks like he tasked ChatGPT to generate his apology as well as his license.
Using HTML and CSS to make web interfaces without JavaScript is like using concrete to make garden gnomes without rebar, while the rest of the adult world is more concerned with using pre-stressed concrete with rebar to make skyscrapers and superhighways. Sure it's a marginal whimsical decorative use case, but not an important or interesting one.
Most people who think turning off JavaScript is an important use case are only inflicting it upon themselves (and aggressively evangelizing that other people do it too) as performative luddites, to feed their martyr complex, so they have something to whine and complain about how the web is so unfair and out to get to them, and have exactly zero customers or products to support.
