Maybe you don't personally, but I'm positive this sentiment exists from others in your generation.
- davelnewton 10y agoI certainly don't, although I'm but a single datapoint. I'll fight hard for my ideas, but not at the cost of missing what other people have to say. I'm reasonably old (nearing 50), I've been coding professionally since before college, and have a reasonably good head on my shoulders. But so do other people, and ignoring what they're saying, or dismissing it because I'm not saying it, is a lost opportunity. Even if that opportunity ends up cementing my owb belief. I owe it to them, and more selfishly, to myself, to consider the possibility I'm wrong. (A verrrrrrry remote possibility, but ya' never know ;)
