Previously you wrote “I think it is time for us to learn some humility and stop being so arrogant”. Yet when I’m with other web developers who have heard of you, “arrogant” is frequently used to describe how you come across. How would you respond?
Sounds like I have to talk my own medicine then!
Yes I am aware that sometimes I come across as arrogant. Most of the time that is self deprecating but I understand not everybody gets my rather bizarre sense of humour.
The problem I have is that I find the attention I get quite embarrassing. Also (as I said in my recent talk), like a lot of web designers I am not the most socially comfortable person. The way that I cope is to joke about how great I am. Its a tongue in cheek response.
However, I would say there is a difference between how I behave with the web design community and how I work with my clients.
Finally, I didn’t say I didn’t have things to learn too. I make as many mistakes as anybody else.
