The only possible situation here is "A-types hire A-types; B-types hire C-types". If a single applicant can replace your entire engineering team (which definitely happened in this case) why wouldn't you hire them to build a widget?

What about hiring them to replace the whole engineering team, saving on salaries? Then you’re fucked when that person gets bored and leaves. Hyper passionate individuals don’t make good hires. They might make good founders though.

- playpause 5y agoYou've misunderstood. I was directly answering the question in the comment that I was replying to. I know nothing about the OP's situation and said nothing about it.
