Programming tends to attract a lot of people who are smart but too young to have wisdom. The kind of wisdom that tells one when it's worthwhile to be ruthless and when it's just pedantry, self-defeating, etc.

The kind of wisdom that keeps one from positing that the people who don't see things their way are delicate.

Wisdom is overrated. Also, I am probably older than you are :-) I am using "I" and "You" because I like direct communication instead of passive/aggressive snobishness.

See, wisdom is not saying stuff like this.
