Anyway: the Linux kernel could have that. Any community can have that, really. But the real work is the humility of admitting you might need it.
And a lot of people - not just proud but _justifiably_ proud, for all their accomplishments and success - can very easily find themselves in a room where it's just as easy to talk themselves into the kind of blind spot you can only be trapped in by the atrophy of that humility, from the mere failure to welcome and foster enough diversity and dissent.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca The more competent you are, the more important humility is. Never listen to your own press. Always put yourself in other people's places. Never internalize people's praise of you and your work. Always listen to others' experiences of your work, and of you. Yes, you have to decide who to listen to, but still.
