We hired a genius once. Literally, had the whole over 160 IQ thing going for him. And man was he smart. Amazing memory. Could code circles around people.
Everyone hated this guy. He destroyed team morale by being rude and unfriendly at each chance, told us team meetings for building cohesion was an excuse to not work, and it got very bad when members of the community who use the software started complaining about how cold and outright pompous he was.
He was a disaster. He would not listen to others. He would not code with others. He would not get behind ideas he had any inking of not liking. He just was awful. Awful. God it was awful.
Anyway, yeah I want an intelligent person, but the idea if you just surround yourself with smart people and delegate, then things go well is utter nonsense.
