- varjag 16y agoAmen. I don't know, maybe it's cultural. In 13 years in the industry I never ever met anyone who bluntly referred themselves as "talented programmer". And a few actually had grand egos.. But good luck to them with the project anyway. I like the idea, just that the opening line was sorta gross.

"Man, I suck... which must mean I'm awesome! Which must mean I suck..." It's a horrible infinite loop.
