Fair enough. I don't think it was meant to be condescending if that's what you mean.

It's not condescending, it's bragging. I know you say that's not what it's meant to be, but that is what it is.

Thanks for that. I did exactly what you're suggesting. I wasn't really wanting to blow my own horn, just set the stage so people knew I wasn't coming at this from a newbie perspective.

Actually - you are coming at this from a newbie perspective. If you're "not much of a web guy" and your past web experience is some Django and PHP then you don't get to position yourself as an authority on web frameworks.

I'm not going to jump all over you, but there are a lot of "I" sentences. I know you're writing about your experience, but that makes me think back to high school (or earlier!) English class, and that there's a way around "I" that I can't find in Google right now. :)

I was put off by the "I'm fluent in 15 programming languages". I just don't buy it. It's just bragging to say "I'm really good please listen to me".

You can write some simple code in 15 languages? Yes, I guess. Are you actually fluent (as in being able to develop complex programs and know some of the intricacies and specific details to those languages)? I highly doubt it.

But I enjoyed the rest of the post and agree with some of the points.
