Prima donnas exist wherever they can carve out a niche. Anyone working in a specialized field naturally sees the immense benefits to be gained by fully realizing its potential, often out of proportion to the whole enterprise. As a coder, I constantly see things that could be automated, relieving people of menial tasks so that they could apply themselves to problems that really need a human brain. If only everyone would recognize the importance of this! As a coder, I can only laugh at the silly testers who want me to reorganize everything I do so that their job becomes easier! Such prima donnas, thinking the world revolves round them, when it's obvious their role can only be in support of development! The above two paragraphs are somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but there's nothing there that can't be found in the wild written or said in earnest. Such attitudes are equally applicable to marketing, sales, HR, you name it.
