Arrogance is basically over-confidence to the point of brash, rude and delusional.
So assured of your correctness that you'll ignore contrary information. A military type example would be to assume that your forces are so superior to the enemy that you ignore information about new countermeasures and send your troops to their death.
In programming or business terms, you could have a process that people assume is the right way to do everything in every situation who are unwilling to adapt to nuances.
A few relatable examples:
- Do everything in the database!
- Do everything in the application!
- Do everything in the client!
- This Javascript framework will always be around, we should totally build our business around it!
- Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM!
Usually the best way to detect it is to ask somebody holding hard to a point of view to explain it.
So IMO, the best way to explain arrogance would be delusion in combination with ability to act on it.
