Ford = internal combustion = bad people.

Google = San Francisco = good people.

It's just SV patting itself on the back for being woke and more virtuous than you.

Not parent but would assume that "google types" are more likely engineers first, with the assumption that those types are likely likely to have spatial / problem solvin awareness.

Contrast Vs traditional traditional CEOs more likely to be hired on the basis of their network and charistma vs actual engineering chops?

Susan Wojcicki started out as a marketing manager, not an engineer. By contrast Mary Barra, the CEO of GM, started out as an assembly line worker and moved up through engineering positions into management. I think people have some pretty backwards assumptions about tech vs traditional industry.

Wojcicki is not an engineer. Her background is marketing.

Even if the Google types have better spatial/technical problem solving skills, how does that translate to self-awareness?

The Hacker News crowd (mostly the Google types) endorsing the statement implying the Google types are somehow superior to the Ford types itself shows the lack of self-awareness for the Google types.
