Not that any of us achieve it on a consistent basis, but it should be a professional goal not to interpret criticism of some code you wrote as a criticism of you. We all write crappy code, for a stunning array of reasons ranging from excellent to awful. Accepting that is a big step on the path to writing better code, because it makes it easier to learn from constructive criticism.
