I challenge that assertion.  It's an all too frequently passed about
stereotype (and one that is very damaging to our profession).

Most software developers I know are harried for time, burdened with
unreasonable demands, and never given enough information to adequately
perform their function.

Even further, the very best developers I can recall in nearly twenty
years as a professional were also the most humble people I know.

I could make a much better case for the average sales/marketing person
or executive being a member of some "egotistical breed" but then I'd be
guilty of stereotyping too.
