It's necessary for us to let everyone know how much better we are at everything

I agree though, there's a great deal of self-designated elitism that seems to plague many of the coders on these forums.

Not possible, we coders have to prove we're better than others somehow as Hosler said.

Coding is logic, math is logic, calculators are math.

So ... Coding is Calculators!

People feel they need to prove they have a bigger **** than the other person basically. It's all part of being human and well... some feel if they invest that much effort into learning how to code, they need to let everyone know somehow hence your 'here are my crap scripts', "now tell me how good I am" threads.

Yeah, suppose so. But I don't recall creating a thread with "my crappy scripts" or similar.

I didn't mean "your" as in you personally, I meant more so in the general case. Sorry for that misleading phrase.  

I put 0 effort into learning and I still know more than tricxta.

It's not hard, after 3 years of my degree all they've taught me is how to draw nice pictures and write pretty reports.
