Even if you have a point buried in your vitriol somewhere, making a throwaway account and delivering it in this kind of way is a new low, _especially_ since you know the guy is still in highschool.


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.
