@webnoob i dont see the issue

@webnoob tell him "hey, I like you enough to give you a chance to grow without management interference, but none of us like you very much when you have to 'prove' how smart you are. We're a team and need to work together. You're the only one acting this way and alienating yourself from the rest of the team. I hope you can learn and grow, because I do see you can contribute constructively to the team."
Or something non-confrontational like that. If it doesn't work, do what @Root says. Lol -
What @QueenMorgana said 😊

@QueenMorgana I like devrant because people as smart as you seem to be more common here than anywhere on the internet.

@electrineer Agreed.
I hate one guy in our office!!! 😡🤬
He is a very toxic person, but that was ok (more or less) till today....
In my office there's a dev who regularly takes figurative shits on other devs — stuff like publicly shaming others for their mistakes, or dropping a conceited "I told you so" whenever his solution turned out to be the right one.
He's a young guy, still has lots to learn about office etiquette, and I know he usually means well (he privately apologized to me once after I told him to fuck off), but I'm not sure he knows of the effect it's having on the other devs he talks down to.
I like him enough that I don't want to go to HR about it, but I don't know how to approach the situation in a one-on-one level with this guy. I do know that something needs to happen, but I'm not sure how I can help the situation.
For now, he shuts up when I point out his flaws in logic and reveal that he's still got lots to learn about his demeanor.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
