You can read somewhere above where i wrote geohotz is not the kind of employee that can work with others.
Start-up mentality is fine when your an actual start up. When you have millions of existing consumers you can't do shame without extensive impact testing and that requires working well with others.
Ive seen this same shame play out at my work. Some young gun thing he knows everything. Everything that is except the 100,000 lines of code that gets executed before/after your code that comes crashes when you change something because "its wrong". The "wrong" is called technical debt and there is always a reason it was written like that in the first place. If it was sooo easy to do it "right" it would have been done right in the first place.
Technical debt is always written because some shaming leader wants something done fast instead of done right.
