It's almost not worth commenting here because of the reaction I expect to receive. There are a ton of people in this industry who received every opportunity in life because of class and yet are unwaveringly sure that this industry is a meritocracy.

My company hires its software engineers out of the "top schools" and it almost feels like I wrote this post. We have a lot of people who got here through hard work too, but the problem with the other group is that they're completely convinced that their ideas are correct. On everything.
