How are you not able to answer this even in a minimal way? You have memory issues and the first thing you go to is "memorize my lines?"

Even a child should be able to answer "what cool shit have you done" in a barely minimum way.

"What cool shit did you work on this week"

"I built this really cool lego set from blocks and customized it with stuff"

Is this that hard?

Yes, because sometimes you switch between so many different projects that you forget the importance of them. You normalize yourself to the momentum of the work, and if it's barely more proficient than someone in the same field, it barely registers.

Sometimes it really is hard to see the mountain you've carved, when your neighbour has a carved a similar one next to you.

personally it's hard when the stuff I do doesn't seem that cool to me. What for others looks like "cool Lego set build" for me might be "I arranged blocks in expected manner" and my mind wouldn't even consider that as a possible answer.
