George Hotz is exactly the kind of cowboy programmer that drives me up a wall. I encounter them in my company all the time. Due to some early success ( or even not ) a Self-absorbed, know-it-all who can produce gobs of code in the mold of a so-called ‘10x programmer’ and then move onto something else, leaving an unsupportable mess in their wake. It’s usually someone who likes to be seen programming rather than actually taking the time to build something for the long term. This is an attitude we should be actively trying to discourage.
