Turns out your resume needs a section for "emotional damage sustained in tech." This guy's hiring process is basically "prove you've been traumatized by a startup implosion or don't bother applying." The perfect candidate apparently rage-quits, deletes Slack, and flees the country—all skills apparently crucial for writing good abstractions.
The "trauma-oriented development" approach is just corporate Stockholm syndrome with extra steps. Next they'll be measuring developer productivity in therapy bills.
