Once you are proficient at some language/framework/library it seems (at least to me) hard to be humble about something you built with it. Sometimes, and hopefully, we're excited about what we've built!
How do the real star-software developers that don't seem to have a rotten attitude after years of experience do it? (I'm really honestly asking! I hate when I get excited about something I built and scare off or offend others, or start rambling about all the new things I've learnt or done)
