A career-slower for a software engineer:
Having tooo strong opinions about certain solutions without listening to others in the team.
If you can base your approach on facts, that’s great. But if it is only your gut feeling that is a different flavor of possibilities, rethink being soo strict.

In its absence, your hunt for the “best” misses most.
