Wow.. I feel super provoked by the question "What's cool about you?". I wonder why..

Probably because being 'cool' is highly subjective and of marginal, perhaps even negative, relevance to doing valuable work.

It is presumptuous and pretentious: 'Are you good enough by my own arbitrary and vague standards to be around me' is the underlying question.
