I never got how that mentality survives, in the majority of companies where I worked that would be a pretty bad evaluation score in soft skills area.

They get stuff done.
Maybe you're a collaborative person so you get put on teams where that's more highly weighted. I'm more of a "don't talk to me / I hate meetings" developer; I get excellent evaluations, but I almost always work independently and the groups I work with quickly pick up on my temperament.
I will say that I'm certain I'd be shown the door if I didn't have a track record of going off into the Batcave for a few months and coming back with cool products.
The "headphones on all day, don't speak to me, no meetings, no I won't explain my code review/feature request/JIRA ticket/etc" folks are specifically who I'm referring to.
I've found it pretty rare at non-Rails Ruby jobs -- they're generally very collaborative teams. I'd probably start a flame war if I mentioned where I have seen it fairly consistently though.
