@AndyChamberlainMusic
if they say "I started coding when I was five, by the way" you gotta hit em with "so you've gotta have made at least a few successful startups by now right"
@redred7702
Surprisingly never met anyone like this (in comp sci) before. Everyone I know is either self-deprecating as shit when they’re really good, or just hate computer science as a whole but can’t back down because they already put 10 years of their life into typing for loops.
@ward7576
We had this one guy who would always be dressed up similar to the dress-code in Matrix and he would often just open up his laptop and run a program that made particles drop like in the "matrix code" then he would just sit like a statue observing the "animation" and would sneakily look around to see if anyone's paying attention to him lol
@QS1597
"I started coding when I was 5," you mean to tell me you WEREN'T coding in the womb? Amateur.
@ozkidagoat
This reminds me off a classmate who started coding at birth passed all the interview rounds with a big tech and failed their personality test 💀
@numberiforgot
I can confirm that every compsci course I took in college had at least two of these people. Took every opportunity to make you feel like a dunce if you ever didn’t know something they knew. I can also confirm they had very few friends.

I know someone who was in my comp sci class who was really good at coding, don't know how long he'd been doing it, but he'd been at it for a while. But the thing is, he was really humble about it, he wouldn't brag or anything like that, and he was actually a really nice guy outside of that class as well. I always felt comfortable asking for help from him whenever I needed it, and he never treated me like I was stupid if I didn't know the solution to anything. He was just a really cool guy. Cheers, Levi.
@Mr-Ibee
Yep, I know someone like that. He's actually known throughout my uni's CS dept for constantly kissing arse and tryna flex about everything from the jobs he gets to the specs on his PC (at like super random times too). Granted, the guy can code.
@bennyc655
I'm also a undergraduate CS student in Waterloo and I completely feel that. Especially in freshman years, some people are too much of them selves, but for most people, once we got to senior year most of us learn to be humble after we met so much talented people in school and in the industry

"Did you know I learnt coding when I was 5" Dude thats awfully sad. To have pain and suffering so early in your life
@youtube_stories.8323
It's worse when you have been coding since you were 10 but in university you meet a kid who was born in a family of coders and has been coding since birth.
@moisesmiguel897
I remember there were guys like that at my software dev bootcamp, when ever we worked in group assignments they acted just like `THAT` guy. But I had no problem telling them every-time that I didn't care and just wanted to get the assignment done. There's nothing like knocking the ego off stuck up people
@Winium
Great skit! Applies a little to math majors as well. I was too insecure to hang with "these people", who typically formed groups. Thankfully never saw it to this degree, and I'm sure part of it was my own anxious imagination. Still, sharp but toxic people (even if minorly so) are aggravating.

@wafflescripter9051
It's always really awkward when people are complaining about failing an exam you got 110% on. You either have to lie or risk looking like this guy.
@Woodside235
This was my experience in Comp Sci Uni. Every class would have at least one, if not multiple dudes who were very extroverted and tried to chat up everyone, but only as a way to get them to engage in their tech dick measuring contest. They were like vultures looking for any sign of technical weakness to pounce on. But that kind of person disappeared once I actually got into the field. I never knew for sure why, but if I'd hazard a guess it's because they were all theory and no substance.
