@donkulator I know someone who's unable to follow when he talks and that makes him smart in certain eyes. We'll, good for him.
@jestdotty your application manages urls, your application manages the best urls!
Purpose of bragging is to get noticed and so you can garuantee your position at work, easy ask for raises, they know you did shit or even get into a new role. At a former company, the silent guy always doing his work without any issues got fired first when shit went down. Management barely knew who he was so choice was simple. That's why some flexii is good -
@tosensei totally, that I'm better is just not the point xD They know deep down. I make them eat less
-
@bazmd I make the best tortellini in town
-
@retoor I see what you did there! :)

@bazmd I'm hungry now

@retoor urgghh get noticed
I don't know I just write boring I did this thing lists
how is any of this exciting
I did make a proxier though that is pretty cool. nobody else came up with that somehow. but anything cool I make is always kind of... uhhh... morally grey.
for me I think I'm proud of firsts / novelty, usefulness, or complexity / some level of expertise that's above the average humdrum. but then I think it makes me sound like a dick, no? like my GPA is 120%+. sounds like a dick claim. but that actually feels funny to me and like an achievement. reason it was over 100 is because my peers failed the courses so much I got boosted past 100 lmfao. but that's hardly of relevance to managers or anybody else, it's just satisfying to me as a happenstance
are management people? what even excites management? they can't surely be excited about their fake certifications or "getting a project done" ???
is flexing more for the audience than yourself? -
@jestdotty ofcourse flexing is for the audience but it can give your own confidence a bit boost too to say out loud what you've did.
No, it doesn't make you sound like a dick. I think some confidence is great.
Tell me what your proxier does exactly. What kinda proxy and what's the use case? -

If you self deprecate you’re insecure.
If you value your achievements, you’re a narcissist .
The only solution is to not give a fuck what others think.
People can’t stand seeing someone who feels good about themselves, because it reminds them of all the defects and failures they have and went through themselves, respectively.
Sigh, Microsoft we need to talk...
Double achievements rant!
Computer engineering graduation (finally) + face reveal.
Instructor: "Alright you fresh meat, you're gonna do natural logarithm, factorial, and 2 to the power of N in ...
do people not understand achievements unless you brag about them =-=
been asking AI on different examples of flexing and all of them sound like vapid LinkedIn posts
"just asked AI a question that's been bugging me for hours! it's such a nothing to have no answers still! 🎉"
one of my favourite examples: "accidentally set my kitchen on fire while trying to impress my friends with my cooking skills. but hey, I now know how to order takeout like a pro. win?"
lol what
I now wonder if I'm depressed cuz graduating school or finishing projects or... uhh ordering food? just sounds stupid to me
rewrote my code from hashset to hashmap. actually kind of re-organized some data types. brain is fog because fuck you. but everything ran so I guess rust thinks it's ok. I'm just annoyed by all that though cuz I just wish I didn't have to do it in the first place
TF is there to brag about
also if you brag about anything good everyone just wants to steal it from you
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF BRAGGING
