"Thing I don't like is only useful to developers who are worse than me" is a super toxic take. If you said something like that when I was interviewing you, regardless of how much pairing the company I'm running the interview for does, I'd pass on you as well.

I think a developer presenting themselves as unqualified for the job, via being an asshole in a job that requires good communication skills and teamwork, you have a pass to say you have not gotten a qualified candidate yet.
