I guess it can help sound passionate, but the list together doesn't sound interesting -- it sounds like an AI read a bunch of minimalism lifestyle blogs and output "interesting_backstory.txt".
Nothing on the quirks list is actually a quirk. They're interesting things he's done that other people wrote books about, received praise for, and then he followed their newer, well-traveled path.
It's not a non-traditional background. He's not a refugee who managed to learn coding. He's not volunteering at a needle exchange clinic. I think that's what's bothering me; he's pretending to be interesting, and taking the room which could be going to someone else.
Thank you for helping me get to why something felt off. Appreciated, internet stranger.
