"programming professionally (i.e. most of every day), then five years is around the point where you become self-aware and realize your code isn't as awesome as you thought" yes i have programmed almost every day for the last 4-5 years. and it has been an year or so that i started feeling like this.. may be one reason is that that's exactly the time when i started looking a lot into well written open source code.. starting browsing open sources repo's and trying to understand how they have written code.. and when i understood I was like.. Aaahhhhh!!! that is awesome.. the best way to tackle this problem..
