Something about the field though seems to really attract the super assholes and they’re so assholish that they color the perception of the whole field.

I’m not so sure about that, when my friends who work in finance tell me about the people they work with their stories often make me think that I’ve been very lucky to end up in a field like software where people in general are so nice, helpful and cooperative.

It all depends on what one compares with, I guess.

Not that I know of. (But if there is, I’d very much like to learn about that!)

It’ll just jab its fangs into your arm and feed off your blood.
