Discussion on: What are some co-worker attitudes you dislike?

There is frankly little that bothers me about interaction with other devs as long as dialogue is maintained on a respectful level.

But there is one thing that annoys me to no end,

It's an almost infantile, but also very authoritarian i-think-i-know-it-all, there-is-only-one-way-to-do-it attitude that can be subsumed as the arrogance and hubris of acrobats prone to heroically jumping without a net.

Ten times out of ten, turns out that the acrobat didn't really know, and the team is left to clean up the splattered mess left below the spotlights of the trapeze artist's bars and ropes.

If you combine that with a strict adherence to matters of form over function, you have a perfect nightmare in your hands.
