"Sorry, we cannot give you the job because even though you're qualified and passed our interviews, you were such a meano to Adam! That is a no-go at this organization"

Who trusted you with hiring

Half the people in that thread have this mentality that just using tailwind is enough contribution, so therefore GiVe mY oPuS MoRe InFo

I thought we learned years ago that exposure doesn't keep the lights on. That mentality is nothing but entitlement

One comment stated that "it's not our fault the founder was unable to manage his finances to pay his people" well if open source worked the way people try to act like it does, he shouldn't have to pay anyone, right? But here we are

  • So you're going to make a list and ensure they don't find employment? That's really an overreaction. Most people say "personality fit" is a thing, but I feel you're downright disgusting if you're tracking people like this and actively ensuring they don't get a chance because of a difference of opinion. It's vindictive and in poor taste and not objective at all.

Not wanting to hire a dick who can't keep a cool head and give constructive feedback is perfectly reasonable.

People get rejected from companies based on nothing but vibes of personality fit every day.
