Gotta agree there. Who wants to work for a company that outsources its hire&amp;#x2F;fire decisions to a vote among random Twitter users?&lt;p&gt;The question now though is, are there any employers left that don&amp;#x27;t do that?</text></comment>

(I follow a lot of great programmers who have a wide array of opinions and ideologies outside of their technical expertise) As what many have come to accept as the truth came out, no one ever retracted.&lt;p&gt;These are smart people, some of which have very high feedback here on HN. It seems to me however that their highly tuned critical thinking skills take a backseat to a desire to be mad about the state of the world, with little regard or accountability to what their words can mean.</text></comment>
