He's close. The real bias is against extremely good looking guys named Rene who are also way smarter and charismatic than everyone else. Terrible bias.

I dunno. "Rene" sounds a lot like "renege." Which probably means you'll sign on to a project and abandon it halfway through or something. Very sus.

(I wish I could say my early interviewing rubrics were any better than this. We have come a long way as a people, we Silly Valley programmers.)

That kinda makes sense, unless you want Rene to be your replacement.
