For some reason they think these are bragging points that put them above all other engineers.
"I built a calculator completely from scratch by myself with no help" (by importing calculator.*)
"I invented my own cloud microservice in a language I wrote completely myself" (It's hello world split in 2 files on google drive and the language is just JavaScript but it you added a "framework" (it's single method) that already exists in the wild but your version is slower and worse)
"I built my own computer" (by buying a prebuilt computer but swapping out the ram, or buying an essentially prebuilt computer but it comes disassembled)
I’m a billionaire with 22in, my dinner with Bezos went well, I had to ignore 22 messages from hot models wanting to fuck to post this, I could have been working for 12k an hour but I decided your post was worth replying to even though satellite Internet costs on my huge yacht costs a lot more than you make in a day.
