Good point.
And some degree of overconfidence and maybe hubris is perhaps necessary to start a company and to suffer the slings and arrows of that experience long enough to have a shot at success.
Channel that kind of energy into creating something useful, and you can do a lot of good in the world.
So it comes with the territory. But the self-applause can get a little monotonous when there isn't also interesting new content.

Absolutely. And I'm the worst of the lot. When I work on anything, my ego swells to a level that has to be experienced in person to be believed. So the hubris is a good thing. As you said, where it goes wrong is when that ego forces itself upon topics that aren't work-related.
