Rarely do devs ever remember what its like to be at the bottom. I've found the elitist attitude everywhere where devs will suggest completely unrealistic solutions to problems that are on such a higher level of development they miss the objective completely. I once saw a Python+JS dev tell a newcomer to JS to just write all their code in Python and transpile down to JS. They completely missed the point that in order to properly do so, you first have to know what your JS is going to do and how it works. Its even more upsetting when you see all these stories of people that only took them 'a year' to start making a good living with it. Typically, they show the most arrogance by asserting that they have what they have because of their merit, when really the company that hired them just couldn't get anyone else that had some specific knowledge in what they were doing, or the job description was wrong, as they always are, so it attracted the wrong people. I don't consider these individuals to be developers of any usefulness outside of their scope of work, because they simply haven't spent time outside of it, so they are not problem solvers, they just look up guides online and make the same stuff everyone else makes. Being a good developer takes time, it takes a lot of failure, and it takes a continued effort to learn.
