throwaway82931··on Why I don’t usually meet startups in person (2019)
I'm glad to hear that. It makes perfect sense that reducing the subjective "culture fit" factor reduces hiring bias.

But I would also say that as someone who has experience at the highest levels of open source organizations and who has witnessed the extraordinary extent to which entrenched parties will fight to keep structural discrimination in place: Don't underestimate people's ability to discriminate based on identity alone, without having met in person.
