    It’s better to have a bunch of mediocre workers that get along than one really good worker that is toxic and makes everyone’s life more difficult. Your dad kind of sucks.

      My dad worked incredibly well internally and was essentially the primary coder. Of the 27 patents his company held, my dad did almost all the work for 17 of them. His biggest internal issue was not being able to get rid of old technology, so there were two offices filled with old junk that would keep him from complaining.

      As a worker, my dad was not toxic at all, possibly a little quirky. Now as a father… I’d definitely agree with the word “toxic.”

      So I’d like to submit a correction to your statement about my dead father: he kind of sucked
