Does nobody care about personality and team fit?
You can be great on paper and by reputation, but turns out Zed and I don't jive.
Edit: Interviewing can reveal these things, for both the applicant and the hiring company.
- jacques_chester 15y agoI'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I admire Zed. His angry rants make me laugh. His ability to pump out decent code is brobdingnagian. He's usually right. But of course, part of what makes his rants so funny is that even the minimum niceties are dispensed with. I'm not sure if that means Zed can be inserted into a team of ordinary folk without wasteful drama from people with hurt feelings. I understand Zed's work mostly takes the form of freelancing. That's probably the best fit.
- zedshaw 15y agoNo, I don't freelance, I actually work as an employee at companies. I absolutely hate freelancing.
- jacques_chester 15y agoWell don't I feel like a drongo. :)
- johnx123-up 15y agoOT: I'm not sure, if HN is programmed in a way that "Zed Shaw" will always appear on front page.
- zedshaw 15y agoThey do, and people who think I'm just a dick, rather than see the truth (which is that I'm a dick to people who treat me and other people like dicks), aren't the kinds of people I want to work with.
- georgieporgie 15y agoI'm a dick to people who treat me and other people like dicks Uh. I've seen you be a 'dick' to people who raised perfectly valid points in a non-confrontational manner.
- speckledjim 15y agoI think it's more the prima dona aspect that I'd expect will put people off wanting to work with you.
