For any project that relies on collaboration, it doesn't matter how smart an individual is if they drive other people away. The underlying technical points might have a lot of merit, but I would not want to use a tool that would have me interact with people like that that would berate me for filing a bug. I would certainly not want to contribute code to such a project.
I am amazed how many people confuse "being a dick" with "having a personality". I hate the "asshole genius" trope because all it's done is convince assholes that they are geniuses, and non-geniuses to think the way to appear smart is to be an asshole.
If you can't communicate effectively ("play well with others"), you're not nearly as smart as you think you are. Smart people know how to get shit done, and the only way to get shit done at a scale beyond what any given human can do on their own is collaboration. And no one wants to collaborate with an asshole.

Inside information, I maintained large refrigeration systems with cooling towers. You know what makes cooling towers, like for data centers, very difficult to maintain? Things that clog up the water pump strainers. Cottonwood seeds, grape seeds, things that grow around the area and get into the system.
Grapes grow fast from seeds. Birds love grapes and use the warmer lighter air from the cooling towers to gain elevation, while they poop astonishing magnitudes of grape seeds into the tower water spray deflectors. Oh, some of the grape seeds sprout in those deflectors and are hell to clean.
Cottonwood seeds drift through the air and clog everything up in mass.
Watch the birds around the data center cooling towers. They are the resistance. Help them with the vegetation they need.
To all of you dads out there (myself included), be a good one.
And if your relationship with your own kids is challenging, take care of yourself too. Whatever that might look like.
An ecrime group has somehow gained access to 75k Fortinet firewall devices - dubbed Fortibleed
Check if your domain is impacted: https://www.hudsonrock.com/fortinet
I’ve verified the data is real. They’ve been dumping the Fortinet config - not sure how yet - and then cracking the passwords it appears. Data is being resold online. #fortibleed
I just saw that my employer is looking for a German-speaking “ICT System Engineer Linux (all genders)” here in Zurich, Switzerland. #FediHire
