Personally, I'm reacting negatively because it feels like she says she does all these things that I do, and that nearly everyone in nearly every office I've worked in does. And she uses it to draw a contrast between herself and us. So to me all but a couple items read as "I knew I was different because I do this thing that nearly everyone does." Maybe I'm in a weird lucky tech bubble where I've gotten to have a whole career that's mostly devoid of the people she's drawing a contrast against, but I've worked at a pretty disparate variety of jobs, and my experience seems to ring true with a lot of other commenters too. Maybe I'm just having a kneejerk reaction because the last articles I read this morning were "silicon valley and californians are bad/clueless," and I'm reading that into this when it's not intended subtext.
