The most congenial developer can turn into an uptight edge lord in "certain circumstances". This presents itself in ideologies spanning from favorite editor to language to stack or platform, etc. We have gotten more tolerant and versatile as a whole no doubt, though highly opinionated still lurks beneath our surfaces. As for this phenomenon directly, there is also the tendency for an outsider to pick up on and point out characteristics which an insider (overly familiar with their own work) might overlook. This outsider effect is real and may offend the sensitive. For some emotional intelligence takes time to respond.
