    Every time someone brags on LinkedIn it’s about something that sounds absolutely miserable to me.

    what’s with so many slavic techbros being named vitali? does it mean “arrogant” and it’s just nominative determinism?

      In his defense, I also have a west facing window in my office and it is absolute ass trying to get anything done from 3-5.

      Also, dude has obviously never worken up before 8am at any point since college, since you won’t get a sunrise like that anywhere in California, and that’s not what a Miami sunrise looks like

    How shit do you have to be at coding to need to do it at 5am instead of enjoying sunrise on the beach?

    This dude needs to get good.

    Anytime I see these types of terrible pics, I think of the planning this self-important asshole agonizes over while the struggling gig photographer has to keep their eyes from rolling out of their head.

    Peak narcissism and vanity, utterly shameless.

        this looks more realistic because of the annoyed face the subject is making for having to work at the pub.

        i left my previous job because of bullshit like this. i need a better career.

      struggling gig photographer

      Sure he doesn’t have a fancy tripod and set his iPhone 18 XL MAX or whatever on a half minute timer?

      Although these types might seek out the struggling gig photographer just to feel power over somebody. Lol

        You’re right, that definitely could have happened too. I just can’t help but think of him trying to describe the shot to somebody. Though it would be equally pathetic to see him snap the photo on timer, run over, look at pic, reset the timer, try again… for like 50 times.

          I think you can use the Apple watch as a remote shutter button, so he wouldn’t need to do laps in the parking lot like a dad trying to get a family photo. But it is fun to imagine none the less.

    Oohh I know a guy exactly like this. Moderately rich, moderately successful in business and money and power is literally all he cares about and money is all he has. He has kids he doesn’t love, he only cares about "his legact’ and “his dynasty”

    He’s built and crashed like a hundred start-ups and a few became moderately successful so he has momey

    He beliefs he is universally loved, but everyone including his kids hate h because he’s an insufferable asshole who uses money to control people around him

    He’s obsessed with what people think about him and -again- thinks he’s super loved, but he’s super insecure as well, so posts pictures showing off his body building results to everyone but he pictures are AI enhanced which makes it all the sadder. He’s obsessed with staying young and not dying so he takes these special stat young IV drips, that sort of shit.

    Did I mention his relentless narcissism and psychopathic behavior where he loves to tot with people’s lives, just to fuck with them? Family included, if course

    He is a sad little man, really, whi one day will be buried in a golden casket but here will be nobody to say goodbye

    I used to work with him - he’s the CTO at a link-in-bio company, and yes, this is how he lives.

    Fun fact. I used to hate myself and the work I was doing when working there, though the pay was good. I lasted four months

    Is getting up at 5am supposed to be a flex? I’m a morning person and wake up at 5 every day just because my body is done sleeping.

      I wake up around 5 most days and fucking hate it. It’s really weird, when I was depressed I could get a full night’s sleep, but now that I’m properly medicated it seems to never happen. WHY?!

      If I were super rich and super successful, my flex would be “I get up whenever I want to”.

      Couple of losers who suck at sleeping in!

      Actually I’m a night owl and people have different sleep schedules and they aren’t anything to brag about. People who brag about being morning people like the douche on the csr hood are the worst.

      Exactly!

      The most important thing isn’t when you get up or how long you work, but how much you get done in the time you allocate for work. Someone working 12h/day or whatever probably has a productivity problem.

    Because you can accomplish so much sitting cross legged on the hood of a car using 1 monitor. Must have a tough job…

        There’s no way actual work is getting done. I hate these pics of people “coding” in super unergonomic positions. If I’m really working on something important, I’m at a desk at home in comfy clothes.

          That’s my secret, I’m literally always coding. Sitting at my desk? Coding. At a cafe? Coding on my laptop. Standing in line? Coding on my phone. Enjoying drinks with friends? Refactoring code in my head. Asleep? Coming up with new coding ideas to write down when I wake up. It’s a lifestyle bro, you wouldn’t get it.

    Having had a tesla as a company car for a year, I wouldn’t even dare put too much pressure on that front hood let alone sit on it 😭 just pressing it closed felt like I was gonna put a dent into it
