As someone who works in computer science and knows these very kinds of people in this book, I had a very similar reaction of disliking these characters. They were eerily close to some of the worst types of people in University / work.
But overall, I really liked the characterisations in this book and the theme that these characters bring out the worst in each other but amidst all that they still create something so brilliant.
It took a while for me to warm to the book but once I did I found myself really enjoying it.
