"Rick was churning out code faster than ever. He was working seven-day weeks, twelve hours a day.
..........................
Every day, Rick grew more belligerent and isolated. The mask was coming off. Jekyll was becoming Hyde."
Geezus. What kind of people are running this outfit that they don't see the connection between these two phenomenon?
People who haven't spent enough time around programmers and/or people who haven't spent a serious amount of time coding themselves would be my guess.
Coding 7 days a week 12 hours a day with the entire weight of everything on your shoulders while others have "meetings" and write Medium blog posts will turn Gandi into an asshole soon enough.
Not saying the guy wasn't intrinsically a jerk but this is a ridiculous failure of management. And you are posting about this ridiculous failure in an attempt to scapegoat someone who wasn't managed for the failure of a project that was poorly managed? Shame on you author. Seriously. Grow up.
