That's interesting. Can you say why you suspect that without naming names, or list some traits that would make someone too crazy to work with? Did anything specific happen at a company you can talk about?

I can't think of anything that would qualify any of the dozen or so programmers I know as crazy. It'd be interesting to know what a crazy hacker is like.

If you haven't met the 1% he's talking about... it might be you :)

It'd be arrogant to rule that possibility out, but I'm cheerful.

Especially when I have dinner arrangements with Hannibal.

Hey, wanna tag along sometime? We'd love to have a friend for dinner.
