There are two types of "jerk but productive" and what separates them is whether they are willing, even on the lookout, for things to learn from their more junior colleagues. Example: Un-curious jerk: please don't write anything, even developer tools, for this company is node.js; I heard it's still riddled with bugs and I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Curious jerk: we can't build any official tooling with this stack yet, but for a couple minutes could you show me how you were taking advantage of the asynchronous capabilities, I heard it has killer support there?
