Agree on technical questions + what he says on "team fit" really doesn't make sense: "You are NOT hiring for "team fit"
I have never heard a definition of "team fit" that didn't end up sounding like "let our bias run free". Phrases like "looks like they belong here" are terrifying. More insidious are complaints like "doesn't like the same social activities we do". Grow up. Your office is not your frat house, and socializing with your co-workers outside of work is not some crucial test. There is no requirement that you like someone socially as long as you want to work with them." You don't ask people to be exactly like but you expect them to be able to work in a cool mood with you and to share things. Who would hire somebody that doesn't get along with the team??!!
