throwaway29981··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancers? (October 2011)
Somebody who wants to call themselves a "fucking awesome" developer will be treated like an adult when responding to their bragging. In this case, it's a developer whose "CV" (which reads as more of an Apple fanboy...thing...than a CV) clearly reveals himself to not be "fucking awesome". And that sort of baseless bragging is going to get a "rofl, you serious?" at best.

If he'd approached it as "I'm looking for an internship where I can learn something," I wouldn't have replied as I did. Instead, he tried to puff himself up as something he plainly isn't. And, hey--I like popping bubbles.

In retrospect, the throwaway account probably wasn't necessary, as the original post was upvoted. I s'pose other people don't really dig that sort of thing either.

Wow, dude. Be a little more arrogant. You're exuding douche from every pore.

I've been doing this stuff for fifteen years and even I don't have the self-delusion to call myself "fucking awesome".

But you're still in high school, so maybe you'll grow up a bit and get out of the Ruby ghetto.
