I ran down the stairs, as quickly as I could with my bleary eyes an added complication. The knocking upon the front door grew louder and more rapid with each passing second.

I opened the door to see a drenched Holmes, in his rain apparel and carrying an oil lamp.

“Forgive the uncouth hour of my calling, dear Watson, but I’m sure you can deduce why I am here.”

I knew instantly what had happened, despite being only half awake.

“Oh no, has the silly place name killer struck once again?” I asked, already knowing the answer.

“I’m afraid so,” replied Holmes. “Now come on, grab your jacket and hat, we must at once to Cockfosters.”

I forgot to tell you, but I meant to tell you

that there was this group of kids at camp

ages like 6-8

and I overheard one telling the group

"We are going to be kind this year, because bullying is cringe now"

I really hope that's a new trend among the children.

We're being kind now.

Join us.

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.
