Are developers often proud of their code? I'm pretty sure most developers who open up their projects to the world and say "look at what I built" are proud of the result of their code, not the code itself.
I'm not sure I've ever met a developer who is genuinely pleased with their code beyond a nice implementation of an algorithm or a neatly abstracted class. Most of us are deeply, sometimes overly, modest and humble about how readable our code is.
