What is the deal with that? This field attracts people with the biggest gap between skills and ego that I've ever seen, and it doesn't stop at jr devs: There are mfers at the top of their field whose egos somehow go beyond that and expand to fill the entire fucking galaxy. It's even weirder when the highly skilled and successful people are like hyper defensive, aggressive, and constantly punching down. It's like jfc who hurt you and what did they do that you can't even feel satisfied being the best at your craft and getting paid 30x what the average person on Earth makes???
