Shackleton-Style Team Building

Overview

A high-intensity hiring filter inspired by Ernest Shackleton's Antarctica expedition advertisement. Explicitly discourages those seeking comfort and attracts obsessive, high-agency generalists who thrive on urgency.

Core principle: Promise difficult missions and honor, not comfort.
