I think it needs to be taken in the context of the twitter backlash against the 10x engineer tweet. The tweet was largely interpreted as "10x engineers are brilliant jerks". People have been writing about toxic environments created by brilliant jerks for years and I think Human Interest is just trying to avoid creating an environment like that.

If that's not how you want to work, that's alright, but casting is as discrimination feels like a stretch.

The context you mention promotes excluding a group of people based on some vague statements and stereotypes with no evidence, now a group of people will be judged for actions they did not commit and passionate compromised people with certain personality will be attributed some features they might not have. For me that’s same as judging blonde people or Irish or something in the lines.

Probably they just don’t deserve 10x engineers if they don’t know how to deal with actual diversity anyway.
