"Put aside your ego, it's the worst problem with programmers" -My mentor

I tend to help others and contribute with courtesy, putting my ego aside and listening to others' suggestions at all times, no matter how potentially silly they are

Thanks to pals like you a lot of us got to where they are now. So in the name of all devs who had a great mentor in the beginning - thank you!

I agree, and I'd add that as soon as you realise your ego is starting to get the better of you and harming your relationship with other devs on your team, take a deep breath and apologise to them - address the issue. I've been there lots of times, and every time I find out it was easy to solve with a bit of patience and understanding.

Agree, and do check the Google I/O talk - The myth of the genius programmer.

Devs tends to want to create perfect systems / best codes. But most of the time we make mistakes and can learn from the most junior staff as well. And we must learn to accept that.

Fantastic advice! I can say I've worked with some egos - I mean, uh, programmers - before.
