Ask HN: Qualities SWEs who get quickly promoted lack compared to older managers?

Whether it's their grindset, office politics savviness, or job-hopping skills, some software engineers find themselves climbing the ladder pretty quickly while still in their 20s. Do quick progressions have a drawback? Do these SWEs have any major blind-spots compared to their older counterparts?

Humility. Quick progression can nourish a feeling of invincibility/superiority which will eventually come back to bite people.
