How do I/we/you unflag this? It's an apropos topic worth discussing.
I notice it where I work to an extreme degree (MAANG).
There is no value in holding religious opinions about any particular tool in the toolbox independent of use. But, there are individuals who throw their weight around with smartaleck negativity and many worship them as a result. I posit that people who cannot backup their claims with data or a survey of concrete experiences are selling their ego over engineering discipline. Arrogance isn't a signal of quality of anything beside arrogance. You'd be surprised how many over-confident people crash into hubris be it a startup product no one wanted or get sloppy with hiring based on trickery or trivia. Get too cocky and the Sword of Damocles of karma, life, or social capital is waiting to chop those who get "too big for their britches". (2022 cross-cultural context: it's an idiom of people who believe themselves to be 3 meters tall. I'm surprised it's recorded as an Australian saying when my 8th generation Irish-American grandfather said it in Texas. Australia is the Commonwealth's "Texas", I guess.).
