If people refer to individuals as toxic, then there is high chance they really are toxic to teh team. It&#x27;s devastating when these type of high egoistical engineers just cannot find any civilized debate.<p>There&#x27;s a reason why women are leaving tech in droves and why there aren&#x27;t as many African or Latino engineers. The very people who are toxic are often blind to the fact themselves. How many more fine African American engineers being driven out because they couldn&#x27;t bear the micro-aggression from caucasian workers?
