> anti-tech superiority complex which is counterproductive

I didn't have a phone until significantly after my peers, so I used our family computer, Instagram's undocumented API, and a variety of SMS forwarding solutions to keep in touch with my friends, which I think definitely sparked my interest in hacking and a career in software.

I developed a superiority complex, but it was more anti-conformity and pro-hacking than anything.

This complex is deserved.
