I’m tired.

Everything I love about software: craft, care, community is being gutted.

AI slop PRs for airdrops. Fake activity to juice metrics for retro funding. DAO politics and governance favors. OSS reduced to a game of farming points and politics.

Crypto didn’t liberate anything. It just strapped a token to every soul and called it progress.

I vented to a friend. They said: "That’s not crypto. That’s money. Money corrupts everything it touches."

And yeah maybe that's the problem.

As time passes the case of a crypto critique becomes clearer and clearer. We need more criticism and self-reflection.

The direction is wrong.

You are correct. 

But what do you expect from an insulated crowd of rule following nerds who call themselves degenerates and builders, never ran from the cops and don't have the skills to make a shelf with?

If words have no meaning, how can we get to ethics?
