&quot;the less dominant personalities (and probably best coders) being ignored&quot;
WAT<p>How are you going to get your skills recognized by your teammates, if you avoid working with them?
Of course you&#x27;re being ignored by them: you&#x27;re ignoring them the rest of the time!<p>In my experience, in a context of technical arguments, great speakers with doubtful technical skills don&#x27;t last very long against shy highly-skilled techies pointing out relevant weaknesses in the proposed solution, and asking tough questions.
