I love talking to tech recruiters... We are a defi startup revolutionizing the financial world.. "Cool, so distributed smart contracts, zero knowledge open source swarms?".. no, we run a centralized website where people give us money and we do a thing for them...
Putting the central back in defi. It's almost like their is willful ignorance in what their own words mean.
Using buzzwords to describe doing something people have been doing for decades or centuries is all the newer big tech companies seem to do. They're just fancy new middlemen with a shiny interface for us to use.
There are some really cool decentralized concepts that would be fun to work on. But only a tiny handful of companies actually do, it's usually a open source group doing it.
Makes me mad when I talk to the imposters
