Passable, but full of cliches. The race and sex references are also lazy and overdone.

I find that "Dear Future Homejoy Engineer"[1] sets a high bar.

Oh dear god, I remember that. I wonder how that conversation went internally after that....

My brief interactions with that company made it obvious it needs a lot of grown ups.

Needs much more specificity wrt the young white guy requirements; you're not optimising enough. You want young white guys, but that's way too general. You need them to be unmarried (no kids, either) with no negotiating skills, and into algo, dubstep, typography, and expensive road bikes. Low self-esteem is also crucial.

"top-tier rich white men" this is not funny, this is stupid. I stopped reading after that.

I really did not understand much from the article. What do they exactly want? ELI5 anyone?

Lol, reminds me of my last start up job...

Good thing I quit.

I thought this would be an article about the state of hiring in silicon valley or the tech industry. Is this supposed to be sarcasm? It's actually hard to tell and makes the author look bad.

As a fairly new person to the tech industry, I have to say that the average tech job from a dev perspective has a very laid back feeling and usually they try to cater to my happiness. Maybe this is because of who I'm applying to though.
