Coinbase says FUCK DIVERSITY HIRING

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, recently pushed his views stating that "We shouldn't ever shy away from making profit, because with more resources we can have a greater impact on the world"

Practically, that means employees are discouraged from debating causes or politics internally and from taking up activist causes at work.

I'm genuinely curious to hear what others think of this. Paul Graham agreed with this statement.

There are some articles in the Times. In case you don't have access here's his blog post:
