Linus for example isn't the nicest guy in town either. I know a few devs who are parsecs ahead of me, in knowledge and/or productivity. None of them could qualify as a nice and polite person. May be observation bias, but I see a connection here.
- dmpk2k 13y agoI think that's an example of sample bias. There are many excellent developers who are nice too, you just don't hear as much about them because they're not causing drama. Again. All the great developers I've worked with have been fantastic people too. Maybe I've just been lucky. As a counterpoint in the node community: isaacs is pleasant, amazingly patient, and an excellent developer.
