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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

what's with so many slavic techbros being named vitali? does it mean "arrogant" and it's just nominative determinism?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Bro could straight up double his ARR with a tricorn hat.

Beautiful view of the parking lot (from his perspective).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

He want the sun to reflect off his monitor and shoot straight into his eyes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

lmaooo this reminded me of that meme with serena williams hitting a tennis ball at mach fuck clean through a guys skull

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Well, you can't be smart and show the sun in the picture at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He is in California on the beach. This is a 5pm photo lol

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, at 5am the sun is usually just barely above the horizon out there.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sun rises in the east. Sets in the west. Most coastline in CA is facing the sea to the west, or at least west-ish.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

And on the other side of the world.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Meanwhile my mate takes photos like this of me at the pub on the phone on the work laptop cause he was late for a beer and I was mid phone call when he turned up

Mine is genuine didn't even know it was being taken his would have had so much planning

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Probably has it set up so he can take the picture from the laptop

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Is his foot having a meltdown?

[–] [email protected] 75 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I was legit waiting for the reveal, with a "that sad little man? <INSERT_TECH_OLIGARCH>"

Made me think he was describing that one dude who has been on magazines, being written about because he takes infusions of his son's blood believing it will keep him young.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

But which one that has been on magazines and had a phase where they infused the blood of the young? Idk, what you're saying is just not very specific 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I used to work for the female version of this guy.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 days ago (6 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

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?!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago

Kids wake me up before 6 every day too, including weekends! I might have to go find a Tesla to sit on

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago

Bro already has an ass-dent in his swasticar that you can see in this picture.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sun at his back too, got to crank that brightness up to maximum, if he can see at all.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

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.

Wouldn't the sun be setting on that side?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I doubt he has that capability for reasoning, but nothing says that picture was taken at 5am. The text continues.

Famously, coastlines are fractal-like, and have tons of nooks and crannies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastline_paradox

He should get that toenail fungus treated. It's about to go critical.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

That's not enough ARR!!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I don't get this picture. Should it have a "I'm to busy to enjoy life" feeling or a "I struggle so much, I don't have a decent working place" feeling? I definitly don't read this as a success picture

I kinda wanna know what the comments that aren't shares like.

Plus, what's a link-to-bio and what's an ARR?

I'm just one of those simpletons who work with their hands

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

ARR I think is Annual Recurring Revenue

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

The only ARR I know of is Sonarr, Radar, etc. for torrents. If you've spent $30M getting those to work, I think you're missing the point

I guess he earns enough to keep getting that dent out of his hood?
