   I'd love to read an honest post from somebody from Twitter (or GitHub or...) on why they don't support IPv6. Not a shaming thing, it's something I don't quite get. Like I get why an old school bank wouldn't: their infrastructure predates IPv6 and it's a project that has to be financially justified and I can understand how that can be hard. But presumably something like Twitter had an experienced networking team, who surely know all the advantages here and want to somewhat future-proof, build up their infrastructure and they decided not to support IPv6 and I would love to understand the reasoning. Is the extra cost really that high?

   Saying this method of interview is not 100% effective so it's useless is not a great argument. Reality is that bad hires are really expensive (as argued above) and that current interview methods are somewhat - admittedly not 100% - effective at avoiding those while mostly - again not 100% - effective at admitting the great hires. Maybe this "convert to discussion" method is more effective (I have my doubts), and I'm sure there are more effective methods out there and we should look for them, but let's recognize the reasons for what we have while we look for something better.

   Lol serves them right for not reading far enough to your moral of the story.

   Your comment makes no sense to me - you're saying we shouldn't blame open source but in the same breath say that anyone who uses open source without carefully reviewing and auditing every line of code is an idiot who can't even do FizzBuzz. I'm a developer and if I'm faced with the choice of auditing every line of code in a dependency or just writing what I need I'll just write what I need nine times out of ten. Honestly your position is closer to the article than you seem to realize.

   There's a huge difference between compelling not lying vs compelling disclosure. We do require disclosure in some cases like in the ingredient example you mention, but even the it's limited to what's necessary: companies don't have to disclose exact recipes and can hide a lot behind the "flavorings" label for example. I'm not sure if forcing disclosure in this case is good, but I do like keeping a high bar on that in general.
