Hearn will be like a ticking time-bomb waiting to go off at R3C ... he's bitcoin's biggest asset right now. Can you imagine that arrogant little snipe not getting his way inside a corporate IT project, just waiting to slip the knife in or totally blow-up the project in a PR nightmare intended to destroy its credibility??
Unpleasant Fact #2: He's not unique. The whole Bitcoin core team is exactly like him.
Discouraging.
Wrong. They are precisely not like him in that they have personalities that actually prefer to avoid attention/conflict and write code (use technology) to solve problems instead of spending years plotting social attacks, relishing the arguments/conflict and sociopathic leadership 'coups' by fostering dissent and division (ahead of roll-up your sleeves and lead by example).
All of the Core coders left after this HearnAndresen saga are the true technologists who are the best to be working on infrastructure, they will not sugar-coat the technical limitations or BS for managementspeak.
PS: stop trolling when you've become transparent.
