I found TFA to frequently juke in weird directions, and for the text to at times be at-odds with what I believed the subtext of what I had just read—a notable early one is where the author describes the intellectual atmosphere at the company in a series of examples that definitely read to me like performative, LARPing intellectualism… then sums that up by claiming you can’t copy their vibe by LARPing intellectualism, which is what I though I was just reading a description of. The selection of the list of people and the reason they were being mentioned, in the section you’re referring to, was another point where the piece threw me. I wouldn’t say it changed my mind about the company, but it, uh, gave some new shading to my existing impression.
