I'm going to tell a tale. Maybe it's one that will make you uncomfortable, maybe you will relate, who knows. It's a timeless tale, told many times over since the beginning of time. It's a story about humans, the human in us all, and how some people forget they are just that, human.

There is probably nothing worse, nothing sadder, and more destructive than a good engineer gone bad. It seems like when they go bad, they go all the way.

What will we cover today?

  • Good engineers gone bad.

  • How to deal with smart bad engineers.

  • Closing thoughts.
