Discussion How do you spot a Brilliant Jerk? What are the signs that you are dealing with a brilliant jerk, compared to a great software engineer?The answer I got from AI did not satisfy me as it fundamentally describes bad engineering practices, not what I would call "brilliant".I'm looking for a list of behaviors in practical situations. For example:Brilliant because: - can code faster than most - knows how to architect a system for scale ...Jerk because: - interrupts in meetings - does not acknowledge others' opinions ...What have you experienced? I'd love to read anecdotes.(This is to add more color to an article I'm writing) 2 points ten-fold 1 year ago 6 comments

I'm looking for a list of behaviors in practical situations. For example:
Brilliant because: - can code faster than most - knows how to architect a system for scale ...
Jerk because: - interrupts in meetings - does not acknowledge others' opinions ...
What have you experienced? I'd love to read anecdotes.
