>> logical , precise structures of programming, than the messy, sometime illogical world of humans (also known as politics).

In my Computer Science libraries and applications are written by people and people make political, marketing, historical and technical choices that directly influence the design of the said software.

So whatever you're saying about "precise structures of programming" is clearly heavily dilluted by "the messy, sometime illogical world of humans".

It seems like in your world Spectre would never happen. But it did happen in mine.

I did not said that a programmer (even the best one) do not create bugs or misunderstand requirements. Of course they do.

The original question is what is more important when hiring: a team player or technical skills. Everyone has both but at a different share.
