The Hardest Part of Programming Is Letting Go of Ego

Your first solution feels personal.
You wrote it. You fought for it.

But great engineers detach quickly.

They:
rewrite without drama
accept better ideas
delete their own work if needed

Code isn’t identity.
It’s iteration.

The faster you separate ego from output,
the faster you improve.

Strong engineers optimize for progress, not pride.
