This is not so unusual compared to other jobs - I've worked with crappy engineer coworkers who went on to bigger and better jobs. Always a fun day when your peer who you thought was slowing the team down announces they're leaving for Google, say! Most people fail sideways at worst, vs flunking out of the ability to tackle a role again ever in the future. If the assumption is that other people would be better at these roles and the hiring is broken (this is PG's assumption, as far as I can tell from the tweet), how would we better identify those people who'd do better? (Personally, I think we're under-estimating the amount of it that's caused by "it's fucking hard.")
