In the past 3.5 years I had the opportunity to interact with some of the smartest people in our industry. I consider many of those smart people to be among the best software developers in the world. Unfortunately, some of the smart people I met weren't much more than assholes. The big difference I noticed between the two groups was -- The assholes were dogmatic, while the best developers were passionate
passionate: expressing, showing, or marked by intense or strong feelingThe difference between passionate and dogmatic is slim, but the result is dramatic.
dogmatic: asserting opinions in a doctrinaire or arrogant manner
