Consider that this person failed a google interview because they knew _too much_ about programming. At the same time, anti-inclusion assholes with a less-nuanced understanding passed right in.

Says a lot about google’s priorities.
Google claims their interview process is optimized to avoid “false positives” (mistaken hires) and instead errs on the side of “false negatives” (mistaken no-hires).
In other words, they want to be VERY sure that the folks they hire will work out.

And who is it, exactly, who “works out”?

❌People who understand trade offs
✔️People who don’t, AND who will later weaponize HR to push out engineers from underrepresented groups
