If you are a developer and you are proud of the work you contribute whilst remaining open minded, I applaud you. If you are a developer and you are overly proud of what you do, and you believe the work you contribute to a software project caries more value than the work another developer contributes, then go fuck yourself.

I am sick and tired of working on teams with people who are self-righteous. What you bring to the table is important, but it isn't the only thing brought to the table, so stop acting like what you brought to the table is the best thing on the fucking table.

What makes it worse is when someone disagrees with your work and you aren't willing to take any of it. You deny their opinion as if yours is vastly superior. YOU need to improve your teamwork skills, YOU need to stop being so arrogant and self-righteous, YOU are the problem.

    On the other hand, competence always looks like arrogance from below, there ARE devs whose opinion is just vastly superior, and there ARE juniors who should just STFU.

    @Fast-Nop I completely agree. However my point is more directed at how you approach those sorts of issues. There's a difference between self-righteousness and arrogance. Also, especially in software development, there is an incredible amount of ways to achieve the same thing. Often disputes arise when people reach different conclusions when attempting to solve the same thing. Rather than immediately dismissing someone elses opinion, you need to be able to justify why yours is better. "It just is" isn't a sufficient excuse.

    I agree completely in regards to your comment, however I've never come across someone who's arrogance is so intense they are prepared to challenge the opinion of someone more experienced than them.
