I agree with the person you're responding to, mostly, in that not every developer (of any skill, including "rockstar", "10x" etc.) is compatible with every company. Filters like these help both parties make that determination before either wastes too much time, and I appreciate the transparency.

I wish more companies were more honest about things like this. Of course, I've been on the interviewer side plenty, and have many times wished for more honesty in a candidate.



I have trouble agreeing with this, probably because I came up through traditional engineering. To me, this is a profession and a competent professional should be compatible with any company. Certainly some company-professional matches will be better than others. However, every significant "incompatibility" I have seen is the person, the company, or both being unwilling to admit that they have or had a problem.
