perfect programmer syndrome

Arrogance; the egotistical conviction that one is above normal

human error. Most frequently found among programmers of some

native ability but relatively little experience (especially

new graduates; their perceptions may be distorted by a history

of excellent performance at solving toy problems). "Of

course my program is correct, there is no need to test it."

"Yes, I can see there may be a problem here, but *I'll* never

type "rm -r /" while in root mode."
