I'm not seeking these people out to hate on them, but when I encounter them the social and code environments around them always exhibit the same dysfunctions. I've seen it multiple times. When your team is threatening to quit because they can't stand working with you, the problem is _probably_ with you and not them. And when you get fired and bugs go down, velocity goes up, and the morale problems disappear, it's now obvious that the problem was you. It's not a hand wavy theoretical take, it's a consistent pattern from dozens of instances at a variety of companies.
