You had me until the last couple of sentences. Yes, the "twitchy smart" are actually just "immature clever" and it takes serious finesse to harness them to do something useful. The can be oh so frustrating to work with.
But the "wake makers"? You want to discard people who solve hard problems and invent things? Yes perhaps they have no place in _your_ team, but these types can be incredibly valuable to an organization, specifically because they are resistant to corporate middle management color-by-KPIs mediocrity.
- crote 4y agoThe problem is that "wake makers" have a tendency to invent problems and then "solve" them. They will want to switch to a new framework because something about the old one bothers them. Heck, they'll even end up writing their own framework, in a language they themselves invented. They see literally everything as a problem which can be solved by throwing as much complex code at it as you'll let them. Great for academia, terrible for business.
