Rude Programmers

Timely question, thanks for the write-up. I wish there were reminders like this every month because I've been reflecting on how true Amy Hoy's observation is, that HN fellates intellectual superiority.

I don't believe such acts promote health.

Some inspiring programmers actually work very hard keeping scientific:

I grow their numbers by calling them out whenever I can.

The best programmers I have worked with:

1) Taught interpersonal skills and leadership by example. Constantly.

2) Taught coding and software design skills by example. Constantly.

3) Acted in the best interest of our shared goals to get our whole team up to full speed, rather than pretended like programming is a solo sport, to the benefit of our projects.

Looks like arrogance didn't make the list.
