Jerk is often just a paraphrase for "mildly autistic."
I've had really good results hiring "jerks" and actually taking the time to understand them as people, and then put them into positions to succeed.
Calling out others as jerks is very often a power play to gain social leverage over people who aren't good at that game.

Is the engineering work actually vital to company success or is it mostly about maintaining a stable product that doesn't need much change? So what may work for some businesses, would raise terrible issues with others.
