Staff engineer at my last startup. Super smart and hardworking guy. He did however had this insane urge to always be proving that he was a hardcore engineer and that made him kind of toxic.

Definitely, we bonded over this. I was a lot younger than he was and I did go to college but I majored in psychology. We were the only non engineers in the engineering team and also the only ones using things like emacs/vim, esoteric PLs like haskell/ocaml and arch as an OS to compensate for that fact lmao
