You should read... better human and developer... We all are individuals with different backgrounds, views, ways of living. Do you understand that your “better human” is different from my “better human”, or your books did not teach it to you? Maybe, “Self-reliance” by Emerson, Hesse’s “Siddhartha”, “Prometheus Rising”, or something from Alan Watts can help you question your attitude, embrace the differences, and do not push your “shoulds” on others? And do not make me start on book recommendations to become a better developer... :)

“better human” doesn’t sound good, but the intention behind I believe is good, I’m understanding that there is some advice on having strategies when compromising “good” development practices in favor of getting things done, I think that’s a pain point for tech co-founders, when your CEO wants to move fast, and you get attached to your version of the “right good practice” or best architecture. Totally recommend Alan Watts too :) And I think we could benefits from your book recommendations for being better developers, if you have the time.

Maybe being less scornful and haughty in our answers would be a good start to becoming a better human
