Hubris was really about building the community. It encouraged you to build things that you would want to share, so that we could all benefit from your Laziness and Impatience.

I'd even go so far as to say !hubris

Pride often leads to unintentional blindness and irrational defensiveness. Humility is where the fun is.

If you’re too humble you might listen to all the people telling you it can’t be done, and later that it shouldn’t be done, and then finally that you did it wrong.

If someone is “too anything” they’re going to have a bad time. I didn’t state a level of humility.

I'd argue hubris is balanced by laziness and impatience. Where I don't believe the three are equal.

I'd add a conditional lesser virtue when working on certain codebases that should have been accounted for when making perl6: Fear.

I'd say wisdom should be the third, but that in turn often leads to hubris.

Wisdom is to know yourself. Hubris is the belief that your accomplishments and skills are greater than they are. Are these not mutually exclusive?
