"Why do engineers get mad at each other so often?[...]a cultural clash between different kinds of engineers: believers vs grifters, or coasters vs grinders" Engineers don't get mad at each other often, the issue is that none of those four archetypes are engineers. Engineers have a common formal training, certification and can build things to specification and timelines which avoids most of the culture clashes. If you want to resolve what's described here the solution is to work somewhere that looks more like Lockheed and less like a frathouse. And if you really care about software engineering as a discipline, avoid an organization that sounds like this: "In most software companies, you really want a handful of engineers obsessing about issues like accessibility, security and performance all the time, even when the organization as a whole doesn’t care about it"
