Most programming teams always have these superhero wannabe's that think they are gods gift to the company.
I used to play that game also. I would work all hours and in my spare time showing up the other programmers. I would constantly critisize the rest of the team showing them up in front of the manager. Displaying their incommpetence and showing you can do a better job was soon replaced with disgust and anger.
Then I saw the light - (after 10 years)
I realized that I was the one.
The one who by my "take charge" attitude gave them reason to let me do everything.
I now know that there will ALWAYS be programmers who are learning the ropes and who for whatever reason need some reassurance and support to get their work done. Yes , I would argue that its not my job -- but neither is it to be the cheerleader..
