I pretended to often that I had figured everything out and didn't need any help. Although this worked out ok, I would have surely learnt more if I had more often admitted that I was stuck and asked for some input.

This article sounds convincing but I don't find it really hard to refute these weak man arguments:
“I hate people who frivolously diagnose themselves with autism without knowing anything about the disorder. They should stop thinking they’re ‘so speshul’ and go see a competent doctor.” - "you're so right! That is why I did a lot of research before I diagnosed myself. I'd really like to see a doctor about it as soon as I can."
"I am a proud atheist and I don’t like religion. Think of the terrible things done by religion, like the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church. They try to disturb the funerals of heroes because they think God hates everybody. But this is horrible. Religious people can’t justify why they do things like this. That’s why I’m proud to be an atheist.” - "these people are totally nuts! I as a Christian can not understand how they can justify their actions. No way this is something real Christians would do."
And so on...

That is not human nature. That is avarice. Your intuition that "everybody does it" does not make it right.

The sum they pay for the citizenship. Just look at some of the Caribbean islands. Selling citizenship can be quite lucrative.
When I created Bartib I tried too keep it as simple as possible which meant for me a CLI tool. Choosing a plain text file with a really simple structure meant I didn't need to implement all features right away but could always fall back to edit the file in vim.
