1. I wanted to see your GH profile because I simply do not believe that you are what you claim to be. - Non college educated black dev making 200+ a year. That "self-aggrandizing noise" is social proof and as I suspected you refuse to provide any. I run into people like you any time I tell people any aspect of my story ie: blah blah poor kid made it big via coding blah blah. There is always someone like you that attacks what I have done and claims the same but can never provide a single piece of evidence to support their claim. 2. There is actually no #2. I have work to do, the things I build help people so while you may take this reductionist attitude toward me and my work it really does not matter because as long as I can push code and use that as a mechanism to distribute my ideas at scale to cause measurable change in the lives of others my code matters - I suspect Fredrick Douglas would be proud of that as where you are just all talk. Also, https://dietmanager.com https://dietmanager.com - my work is FAR from a simple CRUD app but good luck w/ that.

> I wanted to see your GH profile because I simply do not believe that you are what you claim to be. lol, come on man, do you honestly think I care about proving my accomplishments to random internet strangers? I don't even care about proving it to IRL strangers. > that "self-aggrandizing noise" is social proof and as I suspected you refuse to provide any I don't feel like I need to prove anything to you; my statements stand on their own. I also hope the irony of asking a black guy to dox himself in order to prove that he's actually real isn't lost on you. If I had said I was white would you feel the need to ask for proof of my accomplishments? A successful black engineer who disagrees with you is not a unicorn. > There is always someone like you that attacks what I have done and claims the same but can never provide a single piece of evidence to support their claim. I'm not sure why you're being so defensive. Seriously, please copy and paste ANYTHING I've said that is attacking you or any of your work. I simply disagree with your assertion that coding is as fundamental to career success as literacy, that's it. I wrote a really long reply with a lot of details explaining my specific reasoning and you completely disregard it in favor of some twisted caricature of my reply that you've decided is a personal attack against you and your work. You're not even hearing what I'm saying so I'll stop here. Good luck on your app.
