I don't know about;"teaching", but I think people can change their nature and it's life experience that causes this to happen. It would be pretty surprising to me if someone acted the same way at 23 and 32. Arrogance in particular is something that often ebbs with age.
OTOH, for software, the most important skill is resourcefulness, and that seems like more of an intrinsic property of someone's personality.
- gorbachev 5y agoTrue, however, arrogant assholes remain arrogant assholes, in general, much longer than friendly incompetent people remain incompetent.

Failures and their lessons usually correlate with age. However, it is not unusual to find people with enough age and nous yet lacking the graciousness you expect from experts/mentors.
