Definition[edit]
From Programming Perl
- Hubris: Excessive pride, the sort of thing Zeus zaps you for. Also the quality that makes you write (and maintain) programs that other people won't want to say bad things about. Hence, the third great virtue of a programmer. See also laziness and impatience.
Discussion[edit]
Hubris is not necessarily a bad thing. The extreme confidence accompaning hubris often allows its possesor to start very large and, seemingly, hopeless projects with no ill thoughts.
