There is, sadly, no place for non-standard ICs in corpos nowadays. HR will enforce that.

Emotionally immature people tend to be a liability, not an asset. Therapy can help, but they first need a willingness to do better.

Yeah I'm getting a lot of pressure to be a "team player" lately. I've told them over and over I'm not capable of that and that has never been a problem before. But we have a hipster new VP who is really pushy and wants to generalise everything.

		If you worked for me and you said you're not capable of being part of a team I'd immediately start looking to replace you. You might be a 100x rockstar developer. You might even be the best software engineer in the world. But the vast majority of good software is built by teams of people. It doesn't matter how good you are if you can't play nice with others. I'd rather have a team of "merely" good engineers than one "rockstar" creating a toxic work culture. Fuck that noise.

Nonsense. there are way more accommodations for people who wouldn't have had a place 20 years ago... those accommodations have changed what a "standard IC" is. There never was a place for run-of-the-mill geniuses who couldn't be bothered to spend a few hours researching P2P (Person to Person) protocols. They were always pushed off to small companies where the risk was much lower. This hasn't, won't, and shouldn't change. If that makes you salty, I got some things I'd recommend you research.
