Ask HN: Rude Smart People Locked in a Room? I'm curious. You know all those super smart people you didn't want to be apart of your team because they had personalities which was horrible to work with. What would happen if you took a bunch of them, lock them up in a room, and told them they can't leave until they created something interesting? What would be the output? |
I went back 6 months later and the last 2 remaining guys had overengineered something that the customer hated but they were happy with, and they'd taken so long to do it there was no money left for any sort of frontend.
Output will probably be 0. To create something good, you need to do it as a team. If they could not work with non-rude ppl, there is no guarantee they will get along with each other just because they are all alike (rude).
Nothing in between.
