Sometimes it can sting a little to know that I did a crappy job at something, but I see a lot of value in learning from it.
When my brother was in art school many years ago, he asked me to critique his work. After a few polite comments, he explained that I wasn't being helpful and the end result would be better if I didn't hold back on brutally ripping it apart. That mentality has stuck with me. I want people to tell me if my code is crap.
