I came into this comments section to post about how I didn't actually know any programmers who acted as the author described, but in seeing the other comments I guess I've just been extraordinarily lucky not to have to work with divas. Of course I and others I know have preferences about chairs, keyboards, and monitors, but not so much that they claim they can't to their jobs. Quite frankly, I wouldn't want to work with somebody like that. Who wants to work with somebody who thinks their skill set gives them licence to bitch and moan? Who wants to work with somebody who bitches and moans, period?
