Diverting a bit from the subject. Here is what author of the blog says about himself: "Programming since I was 7 and built a lot of what you're using now." Wish I had such confidence in promoting my self.
- SwellJoe 14y agoI'm pretty sure I'm not using anything he built, since I've never heard of him or anything he . Confidence and self-delusion are different things. If he's been really busy in the Open Source world, I might be using something that he's contributed some code to, but that's not the same thing. (I'll occasionally say, "You've probably used some code today that I've worked on." or similar...which is as far as I'm comfortable going in claiming credit for "a lot of what you're using now".) In short, I find that kind of self-aggrandizing comment a bit distasteful, when it is not said by someone with a really impressive history.
- dkubb 14y agoBy "built a lot of what you're using now" he could mean he built a large part of the site that hosts the article.
- cyrusradfar 14y agoThe product that the post was posted to was something I've been working on for a while.
- cyrusradfar 14y agoThat's out of context. That's my tagline on Kapuno.com, which is the product I used to post the article. I built the product which, based on what you've seen looks like a blog but there's actually a bit more to it. Didn't think about reading it that way and it's helpful that you shared your perspective. Thank you!
