The quality of products and services is declining and we are regressing as a result. This decline will continue in the future as AI is fed with low-quality content. The hiring practices of big tech companies like Google are not solely based on merit, but are influenced by various external factors and policies shared by multiple companies. This may be an unpopular opinion, but it is undeniably true.

This has nothing to do with DEI, it's just something that happens from time to time at any SaaS company (despite everyone's best efforts and intentions [1], which to be clear is not apologia, this is a significant error). Once I worked at a SaaS with no DEI policy whatsoever, and with 0 women or people of color on the team at the time - just a handful of white dudes (who were excellent software engineers I was proud to work with). One day we pushed out a bad change and double charged people for our services. Oops. (We fixed it and refunded them.)

You're capitalizing on the misfortune of strangers to insert your entirely unrelated ideological agenda. I'd really appreciate if you wouldn't do that.

Painting with broad, generalization, armchair psychotherapy and summarizing as "undeniably true"
