“At your average software shop, someone can be considered a “good programmer” even if they are a complete asshole. Nobody wants to pair all the time with assholes, even other assholes. Same thing goes for prima-donnas, chronic farters, people who don’t bathe enough, people with halitosis, jerks, idiots, lazy bums.

As in censored. Or fired.”
