Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Wait, I'm sorry, what? Can you elaborate on this?
I’ve had interviewers send me google docs locked to a google account, sent to my personal email which they probably assume is a redirect to Gmail in the background. And then when I write back and say, hi, thanks, could you share this a way that I don’t need a google account, they get extremely skeptical. These days I have a stub Google account I keep around specifically for places that are going to force me to use Google, but even then I have to write back and say “could you provide access to this email address and not that one“, and again, the interviewers get weird and sometimes don’t write back.
