The difference is that you don't create a whole post on HN just to humblebrag how good of a programmer you are.

This code is a disaster and the opposite of what OP describes. A clear case of Dunning–Kruger.

But OP wasn't bragging about their 9gager project. Also, isn't it possible to be a good programmer but write bad code sometimes? Perhaps OP's best work just isn't on display.

Trying to give the benefit of the doubt, but I generally don't think one toy Github project is conclusive evidence of anything, really.

The 9gager project is at the top of his site (https://www.c2kb.com/). It's definitely on display.

Why? Even if he's actually a really good programmer like he claims, it's a massive display of hubris. We should encourage humbleness.

Oh, I didn't see that.
