I'd absolutely commit to measures like more transparency and objectivity in hiring criteria, and of course that would apply to me as well. I've got nothing but contempt for the "senior developers" of HN who think writing fizzbuzz or coding on a whiteboard is beneath them; I have zero problem with being asked to demonstrate the concrete skills that I'm bringing to a position (and if that means I get beaten to the punch by someone with a less impressive degree/CV who happens to be better at the actual work, well, them's the breaks). I just wish the same applied at the top as well.
