better that people suck and you know your shit than people sucking and you being an idiot at your job, eh?
besides, us programmers are an owly bunch anyways... point out a problem with our code and we'll defend it like a maiden's virtue ;) (well, i wouldn't, but i wouldn't release any of my code to the team until i'd qa'd it myself)
p.s. you'll always be a senior to me ;-)
