Computer science is extremely vertical field of study these days. At first it wasn't even seen as higher education and was often combined with other fields. Philosophy was a popular choice. That said, I think while amost everybody knows someone like that, I believe that it is often the opposite and many devs should be enouraged to be a bit more forthcomming. I think the "disease" is common in fresh graduents of university in general.
