You're confusing confidence and arrogance. Confidence can be misplaced, or maybe hard-won through experience. But arrogance never has a place in a team. If you go around thinking you're 10x better than your peers, you're massively selling yourself short and I can bet you the rest of the engineers do not feel the same way about you.
> Pointing out how the other is worse and they are better is argumentative, which usually a 10x anything doesn't need
I'll be honest, this post is a bit incomprehensible. You say a good engineer has to be arrogant, then go on to claim how such an attitude can be combative. Pick one argument, not two conflicting arguments.
You sound young. I understand that youth can sometimes lead to the kind of arrogant thinking in your comments, but real wisdom will start coming whenever you realize how this kind of thinking looks to others, stop making comparisons, and try to learn from everyone on your team.
