Hey, what happened to "move fast and break things?". Put that poster on your wall, it will work wonders. In all seriousness though, writing code (and especially production deployments) can sometimes be stressful. Smart people do stupid things sometimes, or some random event occurs, and makes them look that way... after a while, you learn to separate your persona from your work product. One other thing you start to value after a while, is directness. While sugarcoating things sometimes makes people feel better, most effective teams are good at delivering facts, or if it's an opinion - making a logical case to support it.
