How To Be A Real Elite Programmer And Make Sure Everybody Knows It

What's the point of that?

A critical stereotype of a complete sociopath is unlikely to change their minds, and those traits on their own aren't exceptionally wrong. Sounds like a little rant against something/someon everyone can agree is wrong/bad, but doesn't really exist.
