He also seems to refer to himself by the title BDFL (“Benevolent Dictator For Life”) on his own company’s blog.

Which is so cringey it makes my skin crawl.

Every child with a blog is convinced they’re Guido van Rossum like it’s 2010.

I’ve always been passionate about finance. I used to be a regulated person— an executive director at a firm that created derivative products. Since moving on from that world, I still get the occasional urge to check macroeconomic data and dig into market dynamics.

A few weeks ago, I decided to analyze Polymarket. I wanted to spot insider trading, whale activity, derive volatility — the kind of stuff only a finance nerd would care about.

Maybe just me, but that screamed “finance bro” to me. “Since moving on from that world.”

The inexperience in professional programming is indicated by the entire article. There’s a huge difference between a hobbyist who starts at 11 and a professional developer. Real professional developers don’t start with “I started when I was 11.” I started when I was 15, 20 years before the author did. Who cares?

His LinkedIn shows little experience in professional development. Just a bunch of “CTO” positions.

He dropped out of university in 2018 after eight years.

I’ve also never heard anyone experienced say “I checked the code. It’s good.” Because it’s embarrassing. And he put it in writing. “LGTM 👍” Insightful.

The authors of these articles always make it crystal clear how inexperienced they are.

The role has transformed. Engineers are no longer writing software — they’re designing higher-order systems.

Whoa you don’t say?! We’ve only been doing that for thirty years now. Glad you finally noticed.

You know what the major problem has been for the past couple decades of my programming career? Hint: it wasn’t writing the code.

Leave it to a finance bro to think everything he does is “DiSrUpTiNg.” What year is it?

Unsurprisingly, I feel like the people who are obsessed with churning out AI code are the exact same schmucks a decade ago that thought they were “10x programmers” by using Stack Overflow.

The talent doesn’t increase, the tools just change.

There it is, there’s another cliche! Keep em coming.

Ooh another dope from Europe who can’t understand how fucked they are too, no way!

Don’t stop now! Can’t you say anything else that terminates thought?

Here I’ll copy what I said before because you’re too stupid to read.

Any self awareness at all in Europe nowadays? No. Feels too good to act superior.

And you literally proved it in two comments. Genuinely, the arrogance is astounding. What a waste of text!

Keep patting yourself on the back, though. You’re so smart. I wish I had your delusional self confidence.

I don’t care at all. You’ve made your thought-terminating point in a UK community.

I know this is an unpopular opinion and I expect downvotes, but no one is faring that much better. Especially the UK.

Brexit was such a success, right? Johnson was the right choice, and you totally didn’t have a huge fucking racist rally in September (100,000 people?!)? Those people were all from the U.S.?

This isn’t just a U.S. problem but it’s nice that the narrative makes you feel better!

Any self awareness at all in Europe nowadays? No. Feels too good to act superior.
