Sorry, maybe my post sounded more serious than I intended it to. I wasn't trying to be combative, I was merely pointing out the irony of lecturing someone about insulting people on a professional forum, when your first post could easily be interpreted as bragging and insulting the people you work with. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way and had good intentions. There's nothing wrong in principle with saying you're good at something. I think it's the direct comparison with specific people and the implication that they are slowing you down that has the potential to be interpreted negatively.

Below (above?), I answered why I have to hold back. I'm working with a designer, who can't devote as much bandwidth to the project as can I. I have to wait on him. It's all good. I spend extra coding time, doing things like testing, and adding animations (what I'm working on, today). This is HN. People brag here, like crazy. The main difference seems to be that it's usually "LinkedIN bragging," or "humblebragging." I'm not really into humblebragging. I find it rather creepy and dishonest, quite frankly, and I won't do it. There's a lot of stuff that I'm really good at, and a lot more stuff that I'm not good at. I don't hide either.
