It's a lightly prodding joke. Hacker news cultivates a particularly obnoxious set of reactionary libertarians and self-aggrieved nerds. I'm not the only software engineer to notice this and to find it fair fodder. I've never had complaints about my personality at work, and I think I work pretty well with most teams and am pretty easy going. Actually what scares me is people like you who think they have a good sense of other people based on brief encounters and their own unexamined biases.

It's fairly obvious that different people are shaped by different experiences, but I've found that a lot of what I'm talking about has been frequent enough in my history of doing interviews that I'd be surprised if it was a unique experience. Certainly doesn't seem to be from the handful of likes this comment got. Of course that doesn't make it a universal experience.
