The tendency for certain programmers to reject new, more efficient, cleaner methods for writing code in exchange for what they perceive as doing things "their way". What this usually translates into is a buggy program with no comments, meaningless variable names, no indentation, and a monolith of if/else/switch/case statements as opposed to using an object oriented structure.
Like most shitty poetry, ego code is beautiful only to it's creator and an annoyance to everyone forced to work with it.

When a man receives an abundance of praise from one person regarding his talents, looks or accomplishments.

a submission to Urban Dictionary that has
significance only to the person sending it. Submitting said definition is like

Most of the words on the editorial review pages are a bunch of stupid ego submissions, such as: "Virginia - a woman whose beauty, intelligence, wit, and knife-fighting skills ARE, IN FACT, what bring all the boys to the yard."
