Andrew Torba on Hiring

This “tech labor shortage” is total nonsense. They think you’re stupid. If you’re a White male engineer in this country and you’re unemployed right now you can’t even get an interview because many of the hiring managers at top tech firms are Indian and only hire their own.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
