The last sentence is key: 'Perhaps a "code snob" is simply the term lazy programmers use to describe their more disciplined peers.' If your colleagues really are your peers -- in that you trust each other, don't get pissed off when someone else makes a stupid comment, or when someone points out (hopefully politely) that you made a stupid comment -- then "code snob" is a joke term. If you aren't lucky enough to have fallen into one of those high performance teams, then both types exist: the helpful code snob and the condescending one. The latter isn't help at all. |

HA! You're straight up wrong. You're never going to find someone more motivated to BE right. They don't care about appearing to be right for lesser people. If you have skin thick enough to tolerate them they'll be immensely valuable. Also, their attitude is a huge disadvantage in the workplace causing them to be far more exploitable (cheaper) than their peers.
