Take these with a pinch of salt...while the general sentiment in these statements definitely exist, I couldn't say how widespread they are...

Delusions of grandeur?

Publicly: "We've built a truly innovate/revolutionary/life changing app/product/technology."

Privately: "Product XYZ isn't really innovative/revolutionary/going to change the world. It's just a mundane bit of tech, that might be slightly useful to someone. And of course it's ridiculously oversold and overhyped."

Online privacy

Publicly: "We're deeply committed to your online privacy."

Privately: "We don't really care about your online privacy and will happily track you to death."

Developers don't need to think or be creative anymore. They just need to complete tasks.

- Diversity hurts middle class white collar worker in the long term and used as a tool by elites to keep them in power.

- forced diversity never works

- hiring based on the race or gender has never worked and never will.

I disagree, and this isn't a good fit for the question. Most people who believe that drivel say it often when anonymous on the internet.

People say it anonymously on the Internet because, if said in the public square, they are often faced violence and censorship rather than rational discourse.
