#2> The fact is, people who base their self-worth on being right about everything prevent themselves from learning from their mistakes. They lack the ability to take on new perspectives and empathize with others. They close themselves off to new and important information.

#4It's funny, I always considered myself one of the most humble people i know. Guess this explains why I am so knowledgeable about so many topics.

I saw many junior devs who thought they knew so much that they almost stopped to be curious and find the truth and knowledge out there, and I saw many devs who thought they were experts and just stopped to learn anything.

#7There's a saying in some Indian languages, which I'll paraphrase: the tree which bears a lot of fruit is always bent over. In other words, the person (tree) with lots of knowledge (fruit) is humble (bent over).

I'm at least 10% humbler than you are.

#9This is a description of the Dunning-Kruger effect. While Dunning-Kruger is a popular topic around tech circles, I'm not so sure about the general population. I wish people weren't so ignorant about their own ignorance.
Edit: Adding clarity
People who have superior general knowledge have greater intellectual humility because they are more aware of their own ignorance and the complexities of the subject matter. Those who do not have superior knowledge are subject to the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I've worked with previous my boss's son. This guy felt like he was the best at everything and would get annoyed if people gave him critical feedback on anything he did and would insist he was right. Therefore, even when more experienced people told him things he disagreed with, he wouldn't accept their opinion and keep doing it his way.
This caused a lot of people to not want to work with him and, in the end, was a major part of why I ended up quitting.
