less about programming, more about programmers: just because you can code an app doesn't mean you know jack shit about anything else.. politics included

so many software engineers think they're the only one who understands the world and that they are the one to have the final say in any discussion

i think that stems from their outrageous overpayment

He's getting downvoted but he's right.

The hubris of a dev thinking they can solve a non tech problem with tech that they know nothing about, it's almost unmatched.

This also works the other way round:

The best programmers won't be able to fix you clunky mess of bureaucracy by making it digital.

There are no absolutes, and most of these “myths” are at least true to some extent. Much like any paradigm (worse is better, whitebox testing, lbyl vs eafp, etc), none are universally best. And all are helpful to know about.
