X account @toly posted that Big Tech companies should hire high school graduates who have completed calculus courses, and criticized the requirement for a PhD in computer science as causing degree inflation.

This is the personal opinion of the X account @toly, and the content can be confirmed as their post, but no independent evidence of changes to corporate hiring policies or otherwise was provided.
