I think belg4mit may be confusing "hubris" with "self esteem",
which is not just a common experience of programmers, but an
essential, self-reinforcing trait of the human race (folks
who lack it tend not to reproduce -- those who lack it in the
extreme can be suicidal).
The difference between self-esteem and hubris is that self-esteem
is directed inward, and is good because it serves to amplify the recipient's
ability to do good work, whereas hubris is directed outward,
and is bad because it tends to dampen or interfere with the recipient's ability
to do good work.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
