Ego Is the Most Expensive Dependency

Ego makes you defend bad code.
Ego makes you skip the review.
Ego makes you ignore the warning.

It feels like confidence.
It costs like debt.

The best engineers I know
are quietly unsure on purpose.

They ask the dumb question.
They reopen the closed decision.

Drop the ego.
It was never load-bearing.
