I think humility is even more important in a startup than a big co, since being a stubborn arrogant fool doesn't help you respond to reality.
However, the fact that young developers are making such amazing things right now pretty much disproves that "moving up the ladder" is necessary for great software product work in 2013. Times are seriously changing.

While I'd agree with your logic on its own, the reality of (east coast) startups does not seem to match, at least based on the articles and accounts we most often see here. Humility, a very valuable trait, seems almost totally absent -- unless the bulk of those doing the actual work are so humble as to cower under their viciously self-promoting cofounders. Which I suppose is entirely possible.
