Mountain climbing is ok, and real programmers often wear climbing boots to work in case a mountain should suddenly spring up in the middle of the machine room. Disdain structured programming. Don't like the team programming concept. Unless, of course, they are the Chief Programmer. Have no use for managers.
Managers are a necessary evil.
Managers are for dealing with personnel bozos, bean counters, senior planners and other mental defectives. Scorn floating point arithmetic. Don't drive clapped-out Mavericks. They prefer BMWs, Lincolns or pick-up trucks with floor shifts. Fast motorcycles are highly regarded.
