> Yes he's an arsehole and moderately racist and probably quite lucky too but he is good at his job.

So one can be a massive piece of shit as long as they're good at their job?

Many of us here probably have worked with people like that. It's not a good environment to work in.

Nobody said that. OP's point was to say "he is good at his job" as a counter to the people who say he isn't good as his job (i.e. "he isn't a real engineer"), not as a counter to people who think he's a jerk.
