A lot of my progression as a software engineer has come from decoupling my ego from the things I produce. That’s hard to do because the code you produce is a very strong reflection of your mental models and it’s justified to feel some connection to it.
Tactfully navigating this kind of thing in code review takes practice.
In my experience, the best teams of programmers work through problems with their egos held to the side.

Every once and awhile we'd encounter some bad code someone wrote and have a good laugh with each other and fix it up. Each and every person had one another's backs.
