Those who I consider A players don't foster insecurities about their coding abilities in their egos.

- BeetleB 8y agoYour thesis is pretty circular. You're not making a statement about A players. You are merely defining them to be that way.
- ScottBurson 8y agoIt's fair to define them that way if such people actually exist -- which they do. I've worked with some very smart people who don't have these ego problems. Some do, of course, but I wouldn't call them A people.
- wtracy 8y agoPeople whose behavior revolves around their insecurities in that way have ceased to learn and grow. If those people who are "B" players now continue being open to learning new ideas, they are eventually going to leapfrog those "A" players in skill.
- mdpopescu 8y agoWhen I think about those I consider A players in the C# world - Anders Hejlsberg or Jon Skeet - I absolutely do not see them capable of that behavior.
