The author's tone is condescending, angry and entitled. If everyday interactions with him followed the same tone, I would argue that he is the exact type of person behavioral interviews are meant to screen out (technically competent but a nightmare to work with).
Upvoted your comment. So many comments here are trying to psychoanalyze a smart guy (in my view). A lot of what he has written is sarcasm - which is total lost on the autistic nerd.
If this guy has reasonable technical chops, he seems like someone who would be great to work with.
It's always, always good to have people in your group who are willing to call a steaming shitpile a steaming shitpile. It's also always good to have people in your group who can fairly rapidly turn a steaming shitpile into something that's fit for purpose and reasonably maintainable.

A lot of companies really don't want that. They'd rather someone who will say, in Bill Lumbergh's voice "Yeaaaaaaa, I think we ought to maybe workshop that a bit, okay?"
Saying "This code is no good and I'm not going to continue the review" will not pass muster at any modern American office where everyone is expected to wear a positivity-mask.
This comment's tone is presumptuous, judgmental, and reactionary. Based on the small sample of textual prose in this completely unrelated context, I have to assume that the author's whole interpersonal vibe and decision-making process is not a culture fit for our organization. We were impressed by your background but will be pursuing other applicants
I didn't feel he was angry at all. Just a person with a hughe passion about his craft and how he dislikes the change of the work environment of IT. Completely reasonable for me.
