My way of dealing with an arrogant developer was simply realizing that it was ME! From my perspective I had always thought: "I'm senior, you're junior, you should appreciate my advice and not do XYZ in your old way any more. You're being arrogant by not accepting my criticism well". But in reality, I wasn't allowing the junior dev to grow at his own pace, to explore and understand and evolve his way of doing things. I was just cramming process and procedure down his throat...which was not only arrogant, but an extremely ineffective teaching tool. So in the end, it was I who needed the lesson in humility...not the junior dev. Funny what a perspective change can do.
