But yeah...it seemed like "you do not have a burning, religious desire to dedicate your life to what we do. Go away." I mean the CTO was pretty impressed when I described a few of the things I did so Mr. CEO doing that was pretty blindsiding.

You probably dodged something awful. Have a beer, and move on. Don't worry about it.

This. If nothing else a CEO who would be that flat-out rude to a job applicant is likely to be the sort of sociopathic CEO who would happily gently caress you over as an employee. I've worked for people like that and it's hell.

If anything, the interviewer should remember that he's representing the company - and presumably, the company's values. Even when I've interviewed someone who somehow made it to an interview they're woefully unqualified for, I'm polite, and make sure the experience is at least engaging for us both. Candidates talk. If you treat anyone badly, it will boomerang on you.

That being said, imagine what kind of shitshow that place is on the inside.

What circles are these so I can avoid them like the plague?

If your CTO ever has to talk to investors.... it helps.
