I realize have commented on most of your posts lately. I only comment when I feel engaged, and this is an interesting idea... I can't stand the fake it till you make it stuff, but the world needs some kind of evidence that you can do the thing you say you want to do without actually being able to do it.

Yeah, it's hard for sure. It's right there, in the "liking" that bias loves to sneak in. So, I'm learning as much as I can right now about how to not hire jerks, but also alleviate bias. Super tricky.
