some people are born on third base and think they hit a triple.

  ...and some people are born outside the ball park and still manage to work their way in, practice 12 hours per day for years, hit home run after home run and have snarky people automatically assume that everything they have is due to luck or birth lottery.

    I saw your deleted comment, and while I do believe you worked a lot, you should probably also realize that what you did was also a product of it's time. Now a days one cannot just write a compiler in isolation and then make a million bucks (eg: as the author of turbo-c did). Competition is a lot stiffer, things are way more complex (at multiple levels), and finding super unique and 'big bang' ideas are not on every street corner. In other words, the 80s was the low hanging fruit, the 90s slightly less low hanging, and so on and so forth.

    that's absolutely true, however in this case I don't think a bro who went to a $35,000/year high school and $60,000/year college has ever worked very hard at much beyond keg stands and being narcissistic.

      Yes because if you went to a 35,000/year high school and a $60,000/year college and now work in the tech sector, you must: * be a "bro" * have wasted your college years (doing keg stands, I suppose) * be a narcissist.

        no. If you ride your genetic lottery winning privilege into success and then have a continuing history of pissing on people less fortunate than you, you must be a narcissistic ass.

      Hey, come on. Some of us are quite intelligent and work hard as well as play hard. Don't be hating.

  some people are born on home plate celebrating with three other people and think they hit a grand slam.
