This doesn't seem to be a real Q and A from the people in the article.

A comment from Victor Volkman (going by username at least) at the end of the article (one of the people "interviewed" in the article):

"Although I'm flattered to have my comments included in this article. I must point out it was mined from several different Quora articles about unrelated topics. At no point was I contacted as to whether I wanted to participate in this article. I would have appreciated the courtesy of a "heads up". I'm not hard to find as they posted at least three of my social media contact links."

And an incredibly tone-deaf response by the author of the article... apparently he "had to" copy without asking because "10x devs are introverts".

Not sure why you're being downvoted, maybe someone thinks you are calling devs introverts?

The author's response is

> Yes. It's true. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to share information about 10x programmers another way.... They are introverts and do not like to share their experience (in spite of fact that a lot of people want to here them).

Which I also think is pretty rude. There's a difference between an introvert and a mind reader. If you don't even ask someone, that's not introversion.

Not to mention that introversion isn't a flaw or even a limitation of behavior, but a matter of whether interpersonal communication is taxing or energizing to an individual.

Is this a common writing technique? It reminds me of those fake interviews on radio stations with pre-recorded answers 100 DJs get to use to pretend they got to talk to Tom Cruise.

It's quite common, and known as "plagiarism". It will usually get people discredited quite thoroughly.
