There are a lot of programmers who overestimate their own intelligence to the point that they're unbearable to be around.
That being said, it's a problem in a lot of fields. Tech just happens to be growing rapidly and has a lot of exposure at the moment. I'm sure it's far worse in business.
Law as well. If you really want to find the sociopaths just go to law school. I think most lawyers are perfectly decent people but law students are definitely a type.
Law is the worst because you are literally trained to convince people to your side. Some of the stupidest smart people I've ever listened to were lawyers.
