Lessons from Coinbase’s Wild Ascent

Had to take a look at your profile and when I read "Formerly first employee and architect @ Kraken (2011-2015)" I spilled my coffee all over the place.

This Kraken which was barely usable during the hype?

Was the "Your transaction might have not succeed, please reload" message designed by you?

Dear snarky anonymous coward, if you read carefully you would realise that no, that all happened after I left (2015). Bonus reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18140251 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18140482

So your implying that kraken was a great system when you where there and only became a clusterfuck after you left? AFAIK they didn’t decide to exchange a perfectly working and scalable framework for one that was incapable of handling basic functionality for a larger user base during 2016, though I might be wrong. Feel free to enlighten me.

No idea what went on after I left. Just saw the media. I am sure if it had anything to do with me I would have been contacted.
