Hubris

Step forth from the darkness, fellow programmers! Contary to what Larry Wall would have us believe, hubris is not a virtue restricted to Perl programmers. So, tell me what you optimized or obfuscated. Tell me why your team wouldn't be where they are without you. And tell me what you've done with your code that non-programmers simply can't appreciate. Don't be afraid to brag a little bit, all good programmers do

P.S. if you didn't catch the perl allusion above, visit this for a description of Larry Wall's (the creator of Perl) 3 virtues of a perl programmer
