I'm going to provide no justification; but just say that that sounds very "drink the cool-aid."

If you have such a high hiring bar — and you still get a sexist memo, or vocalised hate-crimes on your platform, or salary suppression, or workers being disallowed from using the bathrooms, or 20,000 employees staging a walk-out because of bonuses awarded to perpetrators of sexual assault... Maybe your a hiring bar is lower than it should be.

People that get pissed at that memo shock me. I get everything else today, but still to this day, he only presented what was observable at the time.

As far as I can tell, everything you just mentioned is totally orthogonal to coding/algorithms intelligence, so it’s not clear what point you’re making.

GP seems like it’s venting or speculating rather than trying to make a point; the post starts off with “I’m going to provide no justification.”
