I get really tired of reading comments like this.
// If the form was sent, we work our magic
Especially when a piece of code is just doing something like parsing form data...

Well, this is the least glaring example of programmers being way to impressed with their own code. It was just the example I found today, and it inspired a nice title for this post.
I've seen other comments - mostly in ColdFusion apps - where programmers brag about how "awesome" or "killer" a piece of code is. I find that truly awesome code is quiet, elegant, understated. And generally, I'm looking at the "awesome" code to fix some stupid bug in it.
