"Meet Our Engineers" would've been much better copy.

AirBnB seems to like to refer to themselves as Nerds... it's all over their site.

Maybe they seek other people who prefer that term too. Personally, I write Job Descriptions with the title "Engineer", and refer to my teammates as "devs" or "engs". But if that's their culture that's their culture, no?

Yeah, the "nerd" thing again. It's obvious some PR guy with us-vs-them mentality prepared this content.

This is patently untrue. "Nerds" is a self-selected moniker that we've worn with great pride for more than five years.
