My comment was a reaction to the fact that you called out your experience/wisdom on the topic no less than five distinct times in a short (otherwise great!) post.

I would argue that by doing so, you made it the unintended central theme of the post.

I'm not saying this to hurt your feelings. That you didn't perceive the obvious sarcasm in my late-night comment suggests that you might not want to be perceived as pompous in your writing style.

My suggestion is that one explicit "I'm an expert" reminder per post is a perfectly good number.

oh!, now I got it =) will increase "Shy" parameter and decrease "Braggart" parameters in my "Normal speech" to "LinkedInese" translator +)

Thank you for feedback =)

(I was thinking that it is not MY wisdom i am talking, but about "Z80" wisdom - all the code I have seen on demoscene and e-zines.)

Yes, this reinforces that the article suffered from the LLM rewrite. Your comments here prove your natural voice is more compelling for this audience than the LLM "cat post" style.

That's a new one for me! What is a cat post?

Earlier, @oisee said 'I hate LinkedIn article style -> let LLM convert my hadrcore-oldschool style into something like "You won't believe what my grandmother's cat taught me about ..."'

I am (definitely) not telling you to act shy or not be proud of your accomplishments.

Ultimately, it's up to you if you want to redeclare your bona fides in almost every paragraph. It doesn't make for great reading, but it's your call either way.

If anything, I'm encouraging you to let your narrative and actions speak for your skills.

Nice recursive joke!

oh, I was trying to understand what are you talking about, where this impression is coming from, and then realised, that the "article" md on github was out of sync with other versions. tnx!
