Wait, so you’re the co-founder and the intern at the same company?

yes

The company exists to minimise the cost of increasing the speed of a transaction with "gas fees". Sort of like when you pay for something with your debit card and then pay a second company to make the transaction go through in under a day.

Not what the company's website says (or means). Gaslite.org says they are a B2B company that helps make other companies' smart contracts more gas-efficent. So they look at code and say, e.g., "you can use a storage pointer here instead of copying to memory, and this will make it require less compute to deploy and run", and the client company implements those changes before deploying. The thing that determines transaction ordering is the price per compute. So users paying a higher per-compute rate on a transaction to jump the line is a very different thing than somebody changing their code to require less compute.

Anyway what that actually means is he's a freelance dev who will charge stupid companies a lot of money to run hardhat-gas-reporter on their code.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
