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.
