You can construct any number of hypothetical evils that might plague your team; I don't really see why you'd let that shape your perception of engineers when you hardly ever run across people like that though.
Most people are fine, and if you run into a toxicity then go take care of it like an adult and talk to your manager/HR/whatever.
- gridlockd 7y agoI'm not talking about "my team", I'm talking about people. Status preservation is one of the most basic behaviors in higher animals. It's not "toxic" or otherwise special in any way. If you follow the advice of the GP, you are setting up a conflict of interest. I'm not ruling out that the "best developer" in some teams is of such noble disposition that they will always hire someone better than themselves. It's not what you can expect though, so don't set yourself up for failure.
