So everybody knows Chris Lattner is an amazing genius. I hate to ask, but is Chris toxic himself, even a little bit? Please understand, you have probably known somebody very intelligent, and proportionately & inversely emotionally not-intelligent... something like that. It's like a spectrum or whatever, and what I asking is if Chriss is on the milder less abrasive side of that spectrum? It seems Chris is probably easy to get along with, but I've never had the pleasure myself, so it's just a hopeful assumption. Perhaps the core team hired some brilliant people, who themselves are amazing, but have a small bit of whatever we call "toxic"?

Perhaps Chris is letting bygons be bygons, and going bye-gone?



I've worked very closely with Chris a number of times and had a wonderful experience every time. I also saw how he looked after the people in his team and how much they repected him.

(Part of sticking up for his team means pushing back against idiocy in the upper tiers of management, which isn't always popular!)
