Valve is managed by “everyone” (not all people are good at managing), everyone can choose what they want to work on being exiting projects or new ones, the company only hires senior people and anyone in the company can be part of the hiring process, they use their version of stack ranking where your peers rank your performance, the top of Valve does not want to be political even if the employees want to.

This causes Valve to mostly hire the kind of people already employed there (white men). High pressure on performance has become more of a turn down for especially women.

They probably run the company the way Elon Musk would run it - on paper it’s cool, but humans being humans with biases makes it not so cool.

“Do your own research”

I think it’s called “Do no evil” 🤔

And visiting the website is a mess as well

Looks like you’re a domestic terrorist. We might make a mistake and accidentally get you evolved in a car accident.

While looking for my latest car, I tested a Kia Ceed. In the 10 minute test drive, it phantom braked 3 times. All the dealer about it and he said “better safe than sorry”. Ended up with a Skoda that once in a while slows down on adaptive cruise control when the car in front of me taking the off-ramp, while the motorway is turning left. Emergency braking seems to only do its think when there’s a reason - so far the car and I have slammed the break at the same time, every time there’s been a reason.

But they will fix the mistake as soon as they know about them… or something like that

Mistakes will be made, but we will correct them as soon as we found out.

That’s a weird reason to keep using X. Hopefully these places also does other forms of communications, otherwise it’s a sad state of affairs.
