a lot of ink has been spilled on DAOs and they're very interesting, but they are unquestionably 1) bad work environments 2) bad for product teams

Says the person who has worked in bad-environment-for-product-team DAOs Maybe you need to up your mental model of what a DAO could be? Hint: doesn’t have to be an echo of a VC-backed company

1. yes, so I'm actually able to speak to the realities of this, not just pontificating in articles on substack or mirror 2. DAOs don't need to be "echoes of a VC-backed company" but they also don't have basic shit like conflict resolution or HR, so they chaotic messes as workplaces for the most part not sure why you're throwing the phrase "VC-backed" in my face as a retort, do you even know who I am or what I've contributed to? pretty much the furthest thing from VC-backed.

Sorry if I offended you, was trying to be tongue-in-cheek. I guess I failed at that 😅 But the idea that “all DAOs are bad environments and bad for product teams” is telling me you have a narrow view of DAOs. The fact that no HR = bad work environment tells me the same thing. Last cycle everyone was assuming DAOs would be the next way to create a unicorn startup, and I think we agree that’s not true. But there are lots of orgs that are successful without dedicated HR. We have yet to see the real use case for onchain orgs.
