Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

"DEI hire" is arrogant. That's a great way to other people instead of owning the flaw. I appreciate the call for maturity in the field. Own your flaws.

the use of “DEI hire” is a shorthand for “i'm a massive racist shitweasel”

It actually blows my mind that these people can see a bad thing happen, know exactly zero about it, and conclude “must have been a (insert slur) who did that”. They did the same shit with the Baltimore bridge collapse.

Hold on now, it could also be shorthand for "I'm a massive misogynist shitweasel".

technically both, but “dei” became a mostly racist dogwhistle.

eta: also, people rarely express only a single type of prejudice.
