If you didn’t run code written by assholes, your machine wouldn’t boot
Generally speaking, I don't know why anyone could/would look at someone's skills and think anything other than "damn, they are good at that specific thing". If you apply any moral, ethical or role model paradigm to them, you will surely be disappointed. This goes for programmers, athletes, politicians and every other person in the world.<p>I don't think positive or negative of anyone until they prove otherwise, but I do note that I'm quite pleasantly surprised when someone with great skills turns out to be a genuinely nice person. Though, I am not surprised when they turn out to be assholes.<p>Bottom line, don't mix someones demeanor or attitude with their skills.
