Crazy! This is something which any fast growing teams need! I feel today’s recruiting which filters on resume based key words are broken! This is the only fix!
Just over a month live.
Tens of thousands of documents processed daily.
Yesterday, we sat with the customer, listening, learning, watching AI quietly make work easier.
Grateful for the trust and the impact we get to create.
What if you could hire @theo for your startup?
Most founders think great engineers are unreachable
And they are probably right
Here's what you can do instead
i’d argue you’re too easily moved by the choice words. “privilege” and “equality” are selected because they confuse the notion of fairness. another way to frame his statement “if you’re accustomed to succeeding due to hard work, ingenuity, risk/sacrifice, and, sure, some amount of luck, having the outcomes reset so that everyone is rewarded more equally feels unfair.”
is succeeding after making good choices, sacrificing personally, and working hard really “privilege”?
is it oppressive that everyone doesn’t get to the same place?
perhaps the real oppression is the loss of individual liberties when naively egalitarian philosophies mutate into marxism, denying opportunities for individual sacrifice, effort, and achievement to be rewarded.
framed as privilege v equality misses the mark.. equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are v different things. silicon valley’s most successful are the immigrants who found america as one of the only places on earth where an individual with zero baseline privilege can struggle and sacrifice and effortfully succeed. calling them privileged after the fact seems hardly the point. but an easy one to make.
