he's just another self-important code monkey who has deluded himself into thinking he's a an under-appreciated genius, if only these idiots he's surrounded by would recognize him for his true greatness.

yeah, sure he is. it's more likely he will end up like most unreasonably arrogant mediocre people, too afraid and self-deluded to do anything of consequence his entire career.

wait until he realizes how much mundane, trivial shit is required with taking a 'leadership position'.

funny nobody (yet) in this thread has mentioned "discipline", everyone is so focused on "motivation". as the saying goes, motivation lasts for a day, discipline lasts for a lifetime.
