What are the reasons behind people leaving DFINITY?

It would be great to hear from former colleagues of mine, and I hope those who are willing to share do so. But also important to point out that the title of the post is a bit misleading… turnover at DFINITY is really quite low and is below the average for the tech industry. I also don’t see any noticeable increase in turnover rate over the past few months.

He should come with numbers or people that left, in my eyes this is purely creating FUD

Maybe the title is better now. It’s hard to know exactly what’s happening from the outside.

What stories are you referring to?

are these stories in the room with us right now?

For obvious reasons, I’ll leave it at that. However, it seems clear to me that something isn’t working at DFINITY, and it would be wise to address it before it’s too late.

I’m not quite sure why it appears that way to you, but would be happy to answer any questions I can. Obviously I won’t speak about specific people or conversations, but is there anything I can answer in the aggregate?

From my perspective, things are normal within DFINITY. All systems go.

If you start something you should have your facts straight and be able to answer questions. :sweat_smile:

The engineering side remains strong. However, the business side seems increasingly adrift — funding for builders is scarce, narratives are in constant flux, and there’s an unsettling level of opacity overall.

I’m not sure I follow. I know of no change to funding for builders or to the general ICP narrative (other than the major pivot into AI and SWI about a year ago).

Anything specific I can address?

For instance, there is no meaningful funding beyond what Adam provides, and the few breadcrumbs scattered by the foundation. When is that going to change?
There is no liquidity. When is that going to change?
To the best of my knowledge, there are no major partnerships either.
And frankly, I don’t think many people buy into the SWI narrative.

The Foundation’s grant program is still as active as always. Yes, there’s less funding from VCs, etc, but that’s an industry-wide issue, not isolated to ICP.

I disagree on your SWI take, but let’s wait to see how it plays out before determining who is right.

This entire topic is vague. WHO has left, WHEN did they leave, and WHY did they leave? How many people are we talking about Farat? You are spreading FUD at a pivotal moment in ICP’s history and this is wrong. @Kyle_Langham thank you for clarifying. If there’s anything I hate more, it is plain FUD with no details. Why don’t you read all of us the DFINITY horoscope now Farat? Because that would be more interesting than this vague complaint here.

You keep spouting nonsense every day - who exactly are you? How strange. If you truly care about ICP, share constructive suggestions instead of constantly creating divisions here.

CORRECT. We posted at the same time! We have trolls and haters all over our eco. Disgruntled investors who lost even more money on the pointless litigation they just lost?
