    we are not discussing vague problems with subjective solutions. in tech interviews you either solve the problem correctly or you don’t. and the evaluation is not subjective. just like the person who said that my comments about car haters made me sound like a billionare boot licker, the creep accusations also say something about the accusers for making baseless projections. even more so with the added “ogling at them”, I’m sure that came from somewhere, just not from my comment…


  • I tried to keep my comment as objective as possible since I was aware that people would not like to hear it. So I made no judgement on wether it’s good or bad and actually shared how it’s a positive thing for me personally.

    when you divert your focus to a specific subset of candidates you have stopped prioritizing the best candidate. therefore that candidate has been discriminated against for not having the specific traits you wanted to prioritize. from a moral perspective it seems that we are passing on chances of getting the best candidates. so this is good for my own feelings, but can’t be good for the employer.

    Honestly. if I felt i was not good enough to overcome the gender discrimination I would have no qualms identifying as a woman to get the job.

    As someone who “crawled out of a shithole” i can accept that “luck” or circumstance plays a big role. But if you are not born privileged and you grasp what’s important to do better and put effort (and the circumstances allow it) then your efforts are as crucial as putting them in the right place which might be impossible to accomplish for most.

    For that reason I cannot agree with dismissing my individual actions.

    you have to understand that some of this people have extremist beliefs because they are poor and resent those who are doing better than them. so having a car makes you a target. edit: as you can see they resent my comment but have no arguments against it.

    you can give them a chance if you want but the moment they show their colors you should just block them and move on. the world is full of resentful people. you can usually look at their comment history and see it’s getting close to being worth reporting to the fbi in some cases.
