Best to get ahead of the curve and self-identify as toxic.

  The dose makes the poison, better to self identify as therapeutic

  The "safe space" work environment will end up becoming the new corporate behemoth style office type, and we'll start seeing 2012 style trendy startups looking for "toxic 10xers" or some sort of similar label. Having that edgy ground floor dev ends up being a new selling point. I do wonder, if your whole team is made up of these "toxic" individuals, does productivity skyrocket as a result of the constant competition? On an aside, isn't the end outcome of the article just an office full of mediocrity where no one really sticks out? How do you get natural leaders with that kind of situation?

  That tech is already months old. There was even a blogpost on HN yesterday where someone humblebragged about controlling their toxicity in code reviews.
