Difficult geniuses often evolve into great people. We all learn our lessons in different orders, and humility and empathy for the frustrations of genius can have a powerful effect.
Genius is a blessing, yes, but it is often a burden. "Genius" implies bright talents but may imply deficits, too. Either way, this person didn't necessarily ask for that, and may struggle to express their ideas in a way which isn't combative. Genius in one area (say, programming) does not always follow in another (emotional regulation).
We should be humane with people as they grow. Indeed, the single best aspect of the mind is that it can change when it wants to.
