Well, unless Qdrant writes a post complaining about the quality of their applicants, I don't see where the issue is.
Also, not all companies try to maximize for "top tier developer", it seems they are maximizing for "top motivated developer", which does not seem stupid either.
It sounds like they are instead maximizing for "free integrations," which seems to be a fine way to get neither free integrations nor high-quality candidates.
