No one's perfect and we all make mistakes, given the circumstances we find ourselves in - we all make choices with incomplete information.
Admitting that there's a better way to do things is a good first step to become better. To share what you've learned is a sign of being humble.
- gambler 14y agoWe all make mistakes, but not all of us use those mistakes to promote something. It's an annoying and overused software evangelism trick. You start by decrying your past ignorance, and continue by saying that you were enlightened and started using X. This dramatizes the improvement and subtly implies that everyone who doesn't yet use X are simply not yet as enlightened as you. There is nothing genuinely humble about doing this.
