"Thoughtful Programmer" is not an Oxymoron

The words "arrogant" and "programmer" are often associated with each other. If you don't believe me, just ask Google.

Fortunately, Google also tells us that the words "thoughtful" and "programmer" can coexist.

I have been a programmer for many years, and I've been as guilty of arrogance as anyone else, but I have come to understand that the best (and happiest) programmers are thoughtful... both towards others and towards their craft.

Thoughtful programmers write better programs.
