There is definitely a culture of superiority, arrogance, and a belief that we know something the rest of the world doesn't. What we do is not rocket science. But developers are overly valued as gods, and we forsake infrastructure, solid planning, resource management, and responsible governance.

Tone down the hipster, developer-rockstar culture. Run a business; run it well. Give resources to the IT team and quit feeding a narcissistic culture.
