Engineers care deeply about the practice of creating software, but how do the other people and caring engineers play nice?

Software engineers have a reputation for being arrogant, disagreeable, and moody. They also have a reputation for saying “no”, for debating pedantic details, and thinking they know how to do everyone’s job better than they can.

They are a fun-loving, agreeable, and entertaining bunch. They’re the ones you want to hang out with after work and catch up with on the weekend. Uncertainty and nonstop pressure require them to develop heroic attributes.

There are many ways to build great software, but reputations aren’t randomly given out, they are earned based on experience.
