A couple years ago, I was exactly like you. (I'm from the Champlain Valley myself.)
But in the 3 years since, I learned that people are infinitely more important than my technical abilities will ever be. My hubris brought me down.
Things like this just aren't going to win you friends. If you want people to invest in you, not your ideas, (a statement which is itself filled with hubris), you have to grow up and realize the world around is a lot more than code.
- wittedhaddock 13y agoMy letter came across as quite hubristic - I know. In truth, I like to think I am humble. But, then again, that is so relative. And, something difficult to communicate while trying to prove competence. Thanks for your feedback, morgante.
- bithive123 13y agoTrying to lace your writing with competence is one of the quickest ways to undermine your own credibility. Be patient, go to school, and put in your time and one day you'll find that you come across as competent without any extra effort.
