I remember being in a staff meeting at the aerospace firm that I am now retired from. I made a comment along the lines of, "Steve is a really good programmer (speaking of an engineer, not a software guy)" . One of the younger engineers piped up: "Well, we're all really good programmers."
Just to say that one way that a lack of humility expresses itself is with the notion that we are all of us equally gifted -- and it just ain't so. In the realm of technology, people like Musk and Andreessen and (include your favorite left-leaning mogul here) really do know more than the rest of us, and what they have to say on many things is newsworthy.

Great post, hope to see the "topic for another day" as well.
