We realized that lone hackers aren't actually the tremendous geniuses who can accomplish dark magic on their own.
The profession has changed. We no longer build low-level constructs that are leaps and bounds ahead of prior versions, but incrementally take existing building blocks to find solutions for problems that are ever more social in nature.
Having worked with several lone-wolf hackers, I am glad we are no longer afraid of pointing out shitty behavior.

But you found it; as it turns out everyone on the spectrum from "unconventional appearance all the way to downright unpleasant to work with" is a cartoon-cutout "lone wolf". Ya got me.
- Daishiman 7y agoThe only ones who are being singled out in recent times are those who are downright unpleasant to work with. I still see all the same quirky characters getting well-paying jobs.
