Make sure you’re not violating your company’s guidelines. If I were at a company and I knew of signals based on subjective morality being used for filtering, I’d summarily fire the offending employee.

I’ve written all of my companies guidelines.

I explicitly codify that the hiring of former surveillance capitalism mercenaries is a fireable offense.

“But the equity was great” is not an excuse.

Clicked "favorite", because I have a feeling that a year later I'll be like "Dammit, what was that comment that made me think 'Now this is peak HN cringe'? Can't find it again..."

Not sure if you're making things up, but I really like your attitude. The world only moves forward because of people with principles, not because of people who make 'tough compromises'

Believing strongly in something isn't a virtue if your belief is harmful/misguided/unfair/discriminating etc, quite the contrary.

Racists have racist principles that they hold with great conviction, doesn’t make them right. You have to stop and ask - is this principle correct.

Does your company collect information about users?

Wherever possible we treat all data as a liability, removing it as quickly as we get it.
