Definitely not just him. I've seen this behavior play out at companies I've worked at from hiring employees. They code it like, "he didn't seem very passionate or enthusiastic." I take a look at the candidate and they're not dressed super trendily and their hair is kinda plain. But I read their code and it's just as good as any good candidate's. It's bullshit and I recommend anyone who's not seeing it check their "culture fit" criteria.
