It’s a shame that poor social interaction skills get rewarded by overvaluing technical prowess. It creates an exclusive environment where only other aggressive people (men, usually) thrive, there by decreasing total numbers of potential contributors.
I’ve seen friends grow their professional skills in this environment, learning that being a jerk is ok. They then try to transfer this to corporate employment, leading to predictable issues. They of course don’t understand their own role in these issues, blaming everyone else who just “don’t get it.”
