I don't think anyone who hired him has any future credibility when it comes to hiring * "He's a great engineer" - Yet he's ineffective at doing the job and touch fired him? * "He's top 0.1%" - Of what exactly? How can it be the case when you fired him? You literally didn't do reference checks properly and you got caught out. And it's all written like these companies are the victims. You're better off admitting that y…
The real question is why did so many YC founder fell for his tricks? He is not even the US and he claimed he is coming over to so many companies?
All these people saying we hired him and he was good. No, he wasn't.
If he could scam about location and lie about so many thing, what makes you think he did not cheat during interviews?
He likely used cluely or some shit software like that to cheat.
A scam through and through.

> If he's that competent, he could hire/mentor juniors and just use his skills to run a contracting business and keep making big bucks while not having to lie all the time?

Realize that a lot of candidates who followed the rules and told the truth were screwed out of jobs. Right now there are massive layoffs and lots of good people are out of jobs and this guy is being praised by sticking it to “corporate greed”? Is Luigi Malione a hero and deserves to be pardoned by this logic ?
If there were more like him, powerful people would be less unhinged.

>If you really can work multiple jobs, just go freelance. Offer some consulting or whatever. You will earn more and have less stress than juggling multiple jobs. You won't earn more. I've considered that at one point and most adverts on freelance sites like Upwork are written by people who are either clueless or downright insane. These people usually want you to create a completely new system from scratch using techn…
There are other platforms that are not public and require vetting. Also, most of my contracts have come through referral. It's absolutely possible to survive freelancing as a software engineer.
