Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule (2009)

This is a trope argument. You don't have to be connected at the hip with the rest of the company all the fucking time to make sure you are building the right thing. We are people, not cattle. You can instead do daily standups to make sure people are going in a direction you want. People (Management esp) who never get in the zone, don't fucking get it.

Status, envy, screen size - this is all bullshit. You have never been a good dev.

And in one line you've summarised WHY general office workers often think tech people are blinkered and entitled with poor social skills. The personal attack wasn't warranted when someone was trying to explain another perspectives.

These are all serious people-management challenges that require competent people-managers working in cooperation to deal with effectively.

I agree with what you are writing but the last sentence should have been omitted. It doesn't help your case.
