Insomnia

I was reading here: "[...] how in love with ourselves most of us developers are, as we if we were great artisans forging the next renaissance. Is our opinion of ourselves deserved, or are we just rude? There is absolutely no doubt in my experience that the rudest person in almost any enterprise can normally be found in the IT department."

That surprised me quite a bit. I work in a software house and most of the guys here are quite gifted technically and still manage to stay out of the "rude" category. I would actually say that the majority are amiable. And that is quite a powerful statement considering our lab houses more than 50 software engineers.

Maybe the author's comment only applies to companies where software is not the primary focus. I wouldn't know, I have worked in software companies all my professional life. What I really wonder here is: Why do people put up with rude IT people? They wouldn't put up with a rude sales guy or a rude HR representative.
