When a new industry is created, be very careful about the personalities of the early thought leaders.
However they act, both good and bad, will carry on through the culture.
Dr. William Stewart Halsted was a founding professor at Johns Hopkins Hospital and pioneered many of our current methods for keeping things sterile and applying Anesthesia in hospitals. He was self important and also addicted to cocaine leading to a big ego and long hours without sleep.
Chuck Yeager was the first pilot in history to break the sound barrier in flight. Every pilot since has had his laid back style of talking into the pilot microphone.
Bill Gates was arguably one of the first awkward yet “asshole like” programmer founders. There may also be a more timid awkward programmer with less ago that came from Steve Wozniak (and continued with Paul Graham, etc).
New industries are still being made today. If I walk into a biohacking space, some stereotypes start to emerge but it still seems malleable.
