I think that programming is very close to how we actually think. Programmers tend to be objective people who like distinguishing good from bad and better from worse. They're generally analyzers to the core.

But we all have some personal aspect of how we see the world. How we organize logic, view priorities, and such, is all personal and unique, no matter how much we may feel that it's objective.

Programming is an expression of that inner thought life. It's how you organize, categorize, and optimize, all laid out in bare raw form. It's an expression not just of our identity, but to an extent of how we exist. Being who we are, we usually tend to think highly of ourselves and our way of doing things, so it's only natural that we think highly our code style.
