The puzzle solver obsession in SV has always confused me. Seems to me that you would only need a handful of those type of personalities at any software company. The majority of the work is just shoveling so to speak.

I'm no expert but I know a logistics company that has the 30 workers 1 puzzle guy setup. He maybe writes 20 lines of code a week but its on stuff other people cant figure out. However if he was the only type there literally nothing would ever get done.
