• The Myth of the Genius Programmer

  by Brian Fitzpatrick

  A pervasive elitism hovers in the background of collaborative software development: everyone secretly wants to be seen as a genius. I'll cover how to avoid this trap and gracefully exchange personal ego for personal growth and super-charged collaboration. I'll also examine how software tools affect social behaviors, and how to successfully manage the growth of new ideas.
