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." [Jargon File]Nearby terms:
percussive maintenance ♦ perf ♦ perfect programmer syndrome ♦ PERFORM ♦ period
