Also remember they are high quality programmers and every good programmer I have ever know was just a bit off center.
Or maybe I am just a bit jelly of,the ability to be a high quality programmer as I do. Or,have that skill set.

There is a huge difference between being a massive bellend and a bit off center.
The bellends don't make it very far in the "real world" - You either learn to play nice with your team and co-workers, or your career is likely to be short at any publicly traded company.
Most, if not all of the brilliant engineers I know, do indeed have their own idiosyncrasies, but they aren't bellends. The people like Kano wouldn't last long on any team I've ever worked with, and people like Luke-Jr wouldn't make it to an interview stage after doing a background check on him. ck seems more like the people I've dealt with in my time - someone that may have a bad day here and there, but doesn't generally go around making life miserable for his team.
Sorry for the derail. Should probably get back on topic about how Bitmain likes to ignore the license and refuse to release cgminer updates, while exploiting the code for monetary gain.
Or is the topic how many of these will we buy? I liquidated a lot of gear looking to order a third and or fourth.
As for old farts.... Turning 60 here next mo right around the Halving.
