| Lol “Non-technical teams are now shipping production code” definitely what I want my financial institution doing. |

| That statement does not inspire confidence considering how ripe crypto is for hackers/scammers, if anything it makes me want to close my Coinbase account. |

| ▲ | coldpie 13 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Very early in the first Bitcoin boom cycle I had a friend who was into it, so I opened a Coinbase account because I thought it'd be funny to pay him the $15 I owed him for lunch or whatever in Bitcoin. I bought the $15 on a credit card, sent it to his wallet, we had our laughs about it, and I moved on. Years later, after it became clear that the only purpose of cryptocurrencies is scams & crime, I went to close my Coinbase account just for some basic digital hygiene. Except I found out that now, they only let you log in if you have an external bank account associated with your Coinbase account. And you can't delete your account without logging in. And there's no way in hell I'm associating my real bank account with a scam & crime agency. So I'm stuck with a Coinbase account I can't close or even log in to. Lol. | | |

| ▲ | b00mer 13 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | There's a law for that. If Coinbase did not require an external bank account to create the coinbase account, by law, they cannot require one to close the account.
At least, that is what I have been led to believe. You could sue. | | |
| ▲ | coldpie 13 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I have to admit I'm always baffled by these "you could sue over this trivial matter" replies. Do you think lawsuits cost no time or money? Obviously I'm not going to do that. | | | |
| ▲ | hluska 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | You’re giving legal advice based upon something you were lead to believe. That’s the first problem. The second problem is that proving damages would be difficult. The third is that you’re operating in a pay to play justice system. Maybe you don’t have to make comments like this? |

| Given how crypto is the priority target for NK hackers it doesn't fare well for Coinbase to engage in such reckless behavior. |

| Exactly. That is completely irresponsible of them. It takes one massive breach and theft from the exchange as a result of this and they are cooked. Exchanges never recover after billions of dollars get stolen from the exchange. |

| Depends on what they're shipping. We're doing this with UI work, as long as your backend is secure I don't see what the issue is personally. Generally engineers are not well placed to be building UIs. |

| ▲ | sumeno 13 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Like letting non-technical teams ship production code | | |
| ▲ | m4ck_ 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | But the claude/cursor/kiro/codex said my code was production ready, enterprise grade, and PCI/alphabet soup compliant. | | |
| ▲ | soganess 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | That is your problem right there. Instead of PCI compliance you needed that sweet, sweet IBM MCA compliance. Rookie mistake by your AI; otherwise it did a flawless job, and the glaze it's been giving you is 100% accurate. You are the bestest. If one more AI calls me "insightful" or says that my question "really cuts through the noise" or "gets to the heart of the matter"... | | |
