Humility is extremely important. As a senior developer with over 15 years of experience, I'm tired of being lectured by junior developers with 5 years experience about things which I know to be incorrect because I used to think the same way but have since learned better. If I try to tell people that some approach x is incorrect in this particular case because of reason y, they think I must be a dinosaur because all the articles they read online indicate that approach x is popular and therefore I must be wrong and lazy... As if I had been twiddling my thumbs for the past 15 years, when in fact I've been working non-stop nights, weekends, day job, open source side projects etc... It's infuriating. I don't know what to say. Nowadays if I encounter such junior dev, I don't even try to start to correct them. Nothing can be done. We have reached peak intellect and things are going down. People will simply get dumber, unsophisticated black-and-white thinking will become more pervasive and I need to learn to live with that; sit quietly in meetings, smile, nod and cash my paycheck.
