How can companies like Google change their hiring process and avoid toxic engineers like this? I’m sure he did well on the Leetcode interviews and even accelerated up the engineer ladder relatively quickly by “playing by the rules”

People being jerks may only manifest in certain environments.

These are not incredibly hard traits to identify upon talking with people. The problem is when you willingly dance with the devil because of how much value he delivers.
It tries to avoid making biased or personal assessments about people in order to be inclusive. Obviously major red flags or cheating will be noted, but you don’t want to assume someone is an a*hole just because they are matter-of-fact ( IMO, there’s a thin line between the two ) and you have different communication styles

As I said 3 days ago, when he announced it "If you were to sell 0.001 token for $1.00, you'd then have a Billion Dollar Valuation. ;-) This reminds me of a stock market simulation in my Econ 102 class. With a fellow student, we picked a few stocks, and sold them to each other for a very low price, and then bought all of them up as the other students watched the trends. We repeated this for 1/2 of the stocks in the si…
Sounds like a terrible prof then. What is such a simulation supposed to teach if not that those kinds of attacks are possible? These are inherent in the construction of the system and your prof should have just given you cudos for having understood that.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
His channel is satire. The problem I have with it is the extreme deadpan delivery, the arrogance and closeness to reality. Obviously he’s playing a character; but I wish I didn’t get so much of a “this is serious” vibe.
I would argue that the reason you get "this is serious" vibes is because he's actually more serious than satire. I really don't think he's playing a character. His videos have been like this for years, it's only in the last year or so that he's ramped up the "satire" content to a ridiculous level.
Like the numerous “this one tip” videos where he goes on and on about the tip and then it turns out to be “be predestined for this job” or “get referred” or something.
Of course I could be misreading it.

Was he a toxic engineer while at Google? People being jerks may only manifest in certain environments.
That’s true. But I’ve met jerky people who feel secure about their tenure , or secure that people are too nice to call them out (Google’s not the most confrontational place, everyone has a cushy job), irregardless of the environment. If those people are comfortable doing in that environment, it’s not unlikely that TechLead’s character is very much real
Not the most elegant pump n dump, exit scams I've seen so far, but really, if anyone is saying "to the moon" or mentions the 'moon' it is a red flag here. Come on. Its obvious in the name: 'MillionToken'

This time as a scamillionaire.
