> I was eager to find out how they made their site. I had asked booth groups and they each answered, “Dreamweaver.” “Oh. Nice.”, I thought, trying to hold back any laughter that I may have had. I was also asked the same question in return, saying “I hand coded it.” I was given the deer in the headlights stare. I don’t know if I received this look because they had no idea what I meant/said, or if they were in such awe of my superiority. To me it didn’t matter what their reaction was because I was going to win.
> I was curious enough to ask them to view their app and website. Was I shocked that their site was pretty bad? No. I had a gut feeling it was going to be horrific. Just before they left to present, I handed one of their team members one of my business cards and said for him to send me an email if he ever wanted my services – they were in definite need of them.
Ugh.

- ssully 13y agoWow. I couldn't even imagine the pain it would be to work with someone like this.
- eugeneross 13y agoYou must be soft.
- Haywain 13y agoYou've got an appallingly pungent stench of douchiness about you. I think he's right — just by reading the way you write, I can tell you're too full of yourself to even fathom the concept of working well with others.
- eugeneross 13y agoYou're taking this too seriously. I can't believe what I wrote pissed so many people off. This is appalling.
- ssully 13y agoNo just baffled that you would think someone would be in awe because of your superiority. When I work with people I treat them as equals and expect to be treated the same way, not to be looked down upon.
- eugeneross 13y agoI know right.
- taternuts 13y agoI think this post and the responses have given you a lot to mull over - at the end of the day I believe it was a good idea to post this because the feedback you're getting (mine was, admittedly, negative) could really help shape you to become better as an engineer on a team in your future endeavors. You're taking some lumps but at the end of it I think you'll take it as a big learning experience - good luck to you in the future!
- jbeja 13y agoIndeed!.
