If you're a professional programmer, expect your code to be criticized.
Expect it on your worst code (because everyone writes crappy code sometimes).
Expect it on your best code (because there's almost always room for improvement).
Expect it to be helpful (because everyone brings a different perspective, talent and experience to the team).
Expect it to be worthless (because some people will want to bring you down or will just plain be wrong).
You should be worried if your code isn't criticized, because it means that either no one cares or no one is brave enough. Neither situation is good for the project.
"The true criterion of the practical, therefore, is not whether the latter can keep intact the wrong or foolish; rather is it whether the scheme has vitality enough to leave the stagnant waters of the old, and build, as well as sustain, new life." -- Emma Goldman
