While I'm too old to care about your knee-jerk threat, I think you better be careful about policing HN like this. It is really off-putting and IMHO creates more of an existential threat to HN than my very reasonable inquiry.

There is nothing personal about my question. As I see it, this guy has questionable credentials to get such a prestigious job, so I ask what has he done. It looks he owned a bar, made some investments, his dad was high up in a quasi-impressive tech company. Again, very vague credentials which say he has money but no particular skill.
