Interesting. When I'm humble, this means I don't think of myself as a rockstar ninja developer. I'm fallible just like the next guy. Right?
But my own aspirations to do great work are still there! So because I'm not that great, I work hard to get better.
Reflecting on the above, it seems right now I'm not humble enough, I'm too satisfied with myself. Thank you for giving me the chance to reflect and improve.
- amelius 6y agoYou did a great job at expanding on the question, but didn't answer it :) I think the main problem with your argument is that the reason we do work is not always so clear. Sometimes our work is just pointless in the bigger scheme of things, but we still have to do it. It can be hard to find motivation from within yourself in this case, and it's easier to play the rockstar developer role.
- hibbelig 6y agoI was trying to say that my humble opinion is that being humble positively affects my performance. So the answer to the ancestor's question is "no".
