I think, reading this again, most people would want to be Gilfoyle. However, undoubtedly the one who would most happily and realistically fit into real software teams is Dinesh. Real life Gilfoyle is basically confined to reinventing the wheel in small-scale obscure projects that don't interconnect well with the rest of the app-o-sphere, incapable of scaling beyond a single programmer. Worse: he's incapable of delivering sub-par work in a timely manner using heaps of thrown-together trash dependencies, which is pretty much essential to modern programming. The ability to happily navigate the garbage dump, jump through all the standardization hoops, and communicate well is arguably far more of the modern programming job than real deep understanding, efficiency, and sole dedication to the craft ever will be.
