Your example only makes sense if that somebody was very proud of their hard-coded HTML form with poor validation. And even then, if it was better than they'd done before, they could still be proud.
There are "pitiful" tiers of code, relative to those who find it pitiful, but there's no such thing as pitiful pride. Essentially din0's argument is "Hey, you shouldn't feel proud about that because I have done things I consider superior! Pity yourself!" I was just trying to point out the absurd nature of that argument.
