Terrible advice. It will be good fodder for illustrating how not to think in some future presentation. When someone is hiring a developer, they're going to hire for the job. Those sieves might be useful when hiring for the current set of fads, but if I need someone to, say, write for an Azure deployed C#/SQLServer application, the brogrammer toting a Mac or telling me about his Linux skill isn't going to get any attention. If I need an embedded firmware developer, I probably won't much care about full stack or Ruby skills. Game programmer? A totally different set of skills. So the whole idea that "the only good programmers are those that fit in my box" or "there's no way a Windows programmer could be any good" and the rest of his rubbish, to me as a hiring manager, scream "doesn't know shit about hiring people or building teams outside the tiny, incestuous world he's crawling in".
