Ahhh, so that's "extreme vetting"

That is genuinely creepy. One of the most offensive things is how it sets up a handful of private companies as gatekeepers: You're judged by your profiles on linkedin and github. And how does udacity derive those eight personality traits? A school's psychological profile of a student for sale to potential employers. Oh yeah, nothing wrong with that. At all.

Then there's this language at the end of the blog post: "...ensuring that companies hire not just the best talent, but the right talent". Savor that for a moment: "not just the best [people], but the right [people]". "right" over "best". Holy shit. What a world they're building.
