Your team is quite talented, and that is to be commended.

It's just sad that we're in such a deeply narcissistic society where self-glamorization is now so normal that nobody even notices it.

I learned nothing from your posting about much of anything except how cool and groovy you think you are. Granted, you are talented -- but that's not the point you should emphasize. In the end, it's not about you. But, is that maybe what you _do_ want it to be about?

All this said, I see you as victims of the society and times. You grew up in a world that values Fame and Attention more than anything else. It's important to note that despite that, you studied hard, learned much, and have applied it well. The last sentence and the first are what counts: Great job on a clearly very useful technology.




I didn't read it as self-glamorization. The writing was satirical, but not narcissistic in my opinion. If this article was supposed to describe their product, your concern over its content is valid. It seemed to be more about recounting their story rather than the product, which isn't inherently bad.
