How to program with humility

• Jun8 16y ago
  "No matter what you do, how hard you try, how well you excel... there is always going to be someone better than you. out of 6-7 Billion people someone will almost always best you. Stive to be better... strive to be in the top percentile... but always realize that you won't ever be #1." I don't quite agree with this comment which gives the gist of many of the answers. There is a difference between being #1 in the world in a field (which is possible, albeit very hard) and having the humility to realize that there are many other fields that you are not that good.
