Are you serious? If I told you to your face "you are shitty at your job" you don't see that as a personal attack?

It depends on what job you're talking about. I've definitely been shitty at several that I've had in my life, if you're talking about those I would simply agree with you.
Sure, but getting a bad perf review then, is that necessarily a personal attack?
Andrew and Jarred and I are all peers in this situation. You get reviews from your peers.
I don't understand, why isn't your attention focused on the claim that Jarred lies in professional settings and in public? Jarred himself shows up to post receipts with barely any commentary, showing where the focus is.
Anyways, what do you think about Jarred? Do you think he lies about Andrew in public? What was the term Andrew used? Outright fabrication?
I value competence above all else, and bullshitting (e.g. using AI to say you used AI) is the opposite of competence.
I wouldn't claim he's lying because I have no first-hand knowledge to base such a claim on. I just think his whole persona is about selling the idea that "you don't need to look at the code anymore". I would have a hard time calling that a lie because I think he really believes it. It does mean that I think of him as a fool or a pawn, though: a friendly face whose purpose is to give a feeling of safety and human harmlessness to a destructive agenda of machine supremacy.
My moral condemnation for that is as strong as if I thought he was simply lying, and perhaps stronger.

No one says "You are a bad employee" in a perf review because it would be a personal attack. They say things like "when you did X it had Y outcome" because that's a fact, not a personal attack.
People who love me have told me many times that I'm "shitty" at something. Guess it dependes where you're coming from.
Clearly Kelley was not saying this from a place of love or caring.
> If I told you to your face
That's not even the extent of it. Saying something in private face to face at least keeps it between 2 people. He posted it publicly for the world to see, so it's a massively bigger "attack".
