Well.

These days I think I work at the best team I ever worked on and it seems I'm in the top two in spelling, it is almost as if the rest if the team is mildly dyslexic or doesn't care.

But they are nice to work with, smart and they make good code.

I'll take them 49 times out of 50 over some perfect in code and writing but nasty in person ex colleagues.

Even if I really really really need a specialist on hight performance <whatever it was, I can't add a dead giveaway here> I'd still try to look elsewhere first.

Edit:

... and those two ex colleagues? Their code was good but it wasn't perfect either.




Am 100 percent with you there - nice and basically decent to work with always trumps the willful disregard for these basic qualities. No matter how skilled they are, or their accomplishments.
