Wasn't Dan or Pete forced to step down on account of gross incompetence? I recall there being some internal drama about their departure.

Haha, certainly no drama and no one forced us or even asked us to step down. I wrote a blog post about it: https://link.medium.com/mHgtiQ3bu9

If you don't mind answering, what's the strategy behind a hiring tactic like the one in the link above? It seems cartoonish and not grounded in reality....

Haha sorry for the snark but I really appreciated your follow up! We’re thinking about hiring at our company and your framing was useful to read.
