Hi psawaya,
thanks for explaining yourself. I found your post, shocking to say the least, not because the dismiss against 10x productive introvert specialists does exist, but because your are posting that on the hacker news which is a forum born precisely in an environment of hacker culture and high tech cult which values and pursues the technical competitive advantages since its foundation (read Paul Graham's post as witness of how was it).
Such introverts are treasured in many companies, at IBM they used to call them "wild ducks" and managers were extra flexible with them, and the difficulties they face, especially since they could easily beat the averages, see things from perspectives ordinary people don't and easily outperform teams of well rounded bureaucrats for several reasons (even if it just for breaking protocols). And these people were the foundation of many large IT adventures, which ended up overcoming their communication issues after longer life experience than average people.
I hope it is not necessary to say that a "wild duck" only company would probably also be flawed, but banning people based on a stereotype was a bit too much, don't you think? Now you seem to have changed your mind... in any case if there was a judging because of a stereotype that will take longer to be corrected.
Good luck with your startup.
