I read it this way too, and this is what I'm disagreing with. I've seen far more programmers for other languages having a high opinion of themselves than PHP guys, which are more workman-like.

The worst offender in this regard would be some Javascript guys (and their n-th rediscovery of the computer programming wheel).
