It takes time for the rest of your team to stay up to date on what you are doing, and you don't want to release too many changes at once, so it's faster to pinpoint which one has an error
Please teach us mere mortals how to be as productive as you are.
You … um … do realize that this is a professional forum, right?
I’d suggest that randomly insulting folks would be … unwise.
I may not be an important person to your career, but there’s a lot of folks that probably are, here, and they may be watching.
If you do something continuously, for a long time, you tend to get fairly efficient at it. That’s just basic common sense.
I don’t particularly care if I’m “better than” anyone else. I’m retired. I’m not looking for work, and I’m not interested in being BMOC.
I am pretty good at what I do. I am also the only person on our team that has the luxury of working on the project full time (see “retired,” above).
I’m a really decent chap. I like working with folks; particularly those that are better than I am, and I have no interest in fighting with you.
You call it “boasting,” but it’s really just a simple declaration of basic facts. I’m good at what I do, in my small context.
I’m currently starting to learn a bit more about stuff outside my comfort zone, like AI, and there’s no way that I could pretend to be any good at that. I’m learning here, and you guys are my teachers.
It’s really discouraging to see this level of cynicism. I consider myself to be fairly cynical, but I’m an amateur, compared to a lot of folks, these days, and that’s a real shame.
You know, immediately projecting the worst onto people we don’t know, isn’t conducive to a happy life. That’s something I learned, long ago.
In any case, I’m pretty much an open book. I definitely share stuff here, that I wouldn’t, if I were still in the rodent rally, but it is not my intention to make others uncomfortable, and I sincerely apologize for coming across that way.
It's all good. I spend extra coding time, doing things like testing, and adding animations (what I'm working on, today).
This is HN. People brag here, like crazy. The main difference seems to be that it's usually "LinkedIN bragging," or "humblebragging."
I'm not really into humblebragging. I find it rather creepy and dishonest, quite frankly, and I won't do it.
There's a lot of stuff that I'm really good at, and a lot of stuff that I'm not good at. I don't hide either.
I'm really productive. So productive, in fact, that I have to slow down for the rest of the team. a lot.
Rather than be frustrated by it, I use the extra time to do things like dig out a flowerbed for my wife (ow), or catch up on streaming stuff.
But I really like coding, and tend to spend free time coding; even though I don't have to.
It makes a huge difference, not having someone breathing down my neck, basically saying "Shut up, bitch. Just go out and make me money!"
I don't have a ton of money, but I have enough. I live frugally (many folks here, would have contempt for my level of living), I can afford good development systems (my toys), and I have a great deal of social interaction.
