I absolutely don't mean this in a snide way, but given your username, it seems like you've totally internalized that as your identity. Do you feel there's opportunities to change that first? (Perhaps I'm being overly presumptuous, and if so, my apologies)
- bigbubba 6y agoI anticipated somebody would mention this, it's a fair point and I don't mind you asking. Mild self-deprecation is a tool I use to combat self-delusion. I've lost some weight but still have more to lose. The name also somewhat reflects the way I perceive myself as an outsider in this industry; 'big bubba' sounds like a nickname for a long-haul trucker, not a west coast programmer (which I am, but have never really felt comfortable as.)
