I am very glad I don't work with this man. This essay really makes me grateful for working with pretty chill people.
We should have better sorting mechanisms so he can work with like-minded people and I can avoid them. I don't say his style is "bad", but it doesn't fit my style.
Which is not to deny he says some valid and interesting things - like the high proportion of emotionally damaged people in tech. But the proper response to this is to work extra hard at bridging the gap with your fellow geeks when they are behaving badly.
I've only seen a few toxic people in more than a decade of tech; I suspect this guy is characterizing many normal people as toxic.
