I remember a project where I had to write a bunch of stored procedures that moved money from various accounts in a real estate management system as part of a larger system development project.
I was just given a bunch of spreadsheets showing where and how much went on specific conditions.
They had budgeted 2 months to get this working.
I created a bunch of unit tests based on the spreadsheets and it was done in 2 weeks.
When demonstrating the solution to the client, they noticed a condition that was missed in the requirements.
I updated the tests, fixed the code, and ran the tests in less than 10 minutes while the client watched.
They freaked as they had never seen unit testing on SQL before.
They used my stuff to test the correctness or the rest of the project.

Nobody should have "pride" in what they do.
Humble thy self and quietly serve others with the skills no matter how mad you have been endowed with.
This keeps you out of harms way.

Being proud of your work, your accomplishments, and what you do is a good thing. Being overly proud and bragging is not. I believe there is a very distinct separation of concerns there.

I have never seen this word. Amazed it is in a dictionary. Sounds like slang or expression like humble pie

Yeah, it’s definitely slang-adjacent in my opinion. Doesn’t take much to get into a dictionary these days.

False humility is when you downplay the truth of your expertise. It helps no one.

One of the reasons that you are good at what you do is that you do all you can to see the product from the user's eyes. That naturally gives you an emotional buy-in. You need a team of like-minded individuals, all with a similar buy-in, all with a creative bent, solving problems on the back burner because they niggle. These are hard to find. You are one.

Because you want the project as a whole, and in greater sense the organization, to succeed.
At some point, you have to only worry about what you can control. Good luck.

Do you prefer a wingnut or a spanner? Object oriented versus component oriented?
I tend to create components to handle other components ("adapters"); so I'm a COP, and not an OOP.
