    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.

      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.

    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

    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.

    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.

      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.

      I wake up at 5 a lot of the time. My body just wants to be awake early nowadays. I wish I could sleep in 😔

      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

    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

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

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

        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.

    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
