Yep, whenever you find yourself being the smartest person in the room, you need to find yourself a smarter room.

Most people don't want to learn (in particular not learn sufficiently hard to really improve).

True, many a junior dev I've had to work with was convinced they're the smartest person in the room, good at what they do but so full of themselves they're unable to adapt, acquire new knowledge or consider new paradigms.

Learning requires some amount of humbleness, to accept you don't know everything.

Motivating students to want to learn isn't rocket science, just a rare skill to see.

If it is not rocket science, how does it work?
