Little things like this build more trust with me than all the carefully written press release blogs ever could.

  I think this falls under “I want a president I would have a beer with”, you’re judging something by a bad metric.

    Seems that you believe you possess the authority to judge the worthiness of someone else's metric...? Curious.

    Only if it's the only metric. I've worked with people who would never be comfortable making jokes like that in a public forum, always having their "PR-mode" on, and they tend to be the ones that don't have a ton of empathy. Being able to interact with the community in a human way is definitely a good signal, imo.

      Eh... for a small organization sure but I think relatability from big wigs is more used as a way to hand wave controversies than being used for actual good? I think the president analogy really holds. A president who you could have a beer with can get away with a lot more crap then one who has to prove it through policy. I’m definitely being a bit nit picky, just saying it’s not a good metric.
