@davidgerard Yeah. I'm gonna need to see at least one more zero in those pay rates for cleaning out your cesspool. At least.

Even though with another "0" it would be a lot of money for me, I still would not do it.
Instead of getting that money and do this "work", I'd rather get no money and just look out the window and watch some birds. It would be the better deal for me.

@davidgerard They handle payments. WHAT COULD GO WRONG.

@davidgerard Incredibly low pay rate for that level of job as well - a job that would have paid $2M+ per year and they want it for $360k-$480k lol.
Even when they are doing the 'rah rah we need super skilled important people' thing to try and attract people, they are still like 'but AI means we don't have to pay you much because you are just an AI herder, not a programmer'.

@davidgerard (Also also 'last line of defense, 100% responsibility for everything including all of the money stuff' and they say 'senior' instead of 'staff' - clown shoes)

@ariadne @davidgerard oh wow, some of what they listed makes me think this is absolutely the job from hell.

@duke_of_germany @davidgerard My criterion is enough money that after six months, I can do exactly that for the rest of my life.
(n.b. - I do think quite highly of myself. But nobody, including me, is worth that kind of money.)

@duke_of_germany @davidgerard And the work, assuming I did, would actually be fending off the bozos while I did a complete rewrite.

- Values accuracy over speed — a ledger bug in production is worse than a week of delay
lmao, if only there were some way to (as the cool kids are saying these days) 'shift left' such concerns.

Much of the codebase has been generated by AI.

We need someone who can look at all of this and say: “this will break in production” — before it actually does.Not sure the "looking at it" step is even necessary, tbh.

@davidgerard Look, all the hard parts are already done: infrastructure, distributed systems, database design, encryption, financial flows, etc. Now we just need someone to bolt on safety and security after the fact. How hard can it be‽

They tried to vibe-code a PCI-DSS compliant payment processing system??? Lol. Lmao.
