I live this so much. Also, if you ever go out of your way to be likeable for extended periods of time a lot of people will sit around waiting for the other shoe to drop, so the first sign you show of being unlikable in any sense (legit or not) will send them to the moon.

Yeah there’s a hormesis angle here. Give them a small dose of your ugly side so they are able to handle the test of your ugly side without hating you.

Talking to high level engineers is a good reminder that this works. It's such a difficult balancing act to know their audience, and time consuming. From the opposite perspective, you learn to prepare yourself before speaking with others, unless you love weathering the storm.
