I just realized, that the severe symptoms of a certain recently banned members idiocy all began when he started learning programming. As he grew more knowledgeable about such an area, his epeen and ego inflated to unfathomable heights and he is currently in a period of dicking around with a high nose and an IQ which he believes to be superior, but in actuality probably below average.
The horrors of learning programming fellas. Just some insight. Don't let this personality bending bullshit happen to you!
You raise an interesting topic. I can speak from experience that programming does generally inflate your ego a bit. But you eventually learn to manage it because there are millions of programmers in the world and someone will always be better than you.
Pride in what you do is cool, but it by no means should exude a sense of superiority.
Flare couldn't really program though. I doubt he has a high IQ, but then again IQs aren't everything.

I personally agree. As joking as I was about this post, I would have to say I didn't make it without basis though. It is true that programming comes as a common denominator of many cocky and arrogant pricks I have met on the interwebs. Or perhaps, cocky and arrogant come as a common factor of program. Either way, Flare was probably bound to head in the direction of self-destruction at some point anyway. Everyone goes through the rebellious "Im da bes" stage at some point.
As to whether he could program or not, it's not really a big deal. The point is that he adapted a programmers mentality. It's like adapting a gym mentality for working out. He found a clique which he tried to be apart of and acted accordingly lol.
It is probably because everyone made fun of him for how bad he was at it. People new to programming as easy to mesmerize. Especially /b/tards who think doxxing, DDoSing, spamming, etc. are anything more than a day of coursework for a security dev.
DAE wanna do [stupid thing that died as a fad in the early 90's and serves no purpose with a low success rate and minimal impact]? No thanks.
DAE think it's hilarious when a website isn't operational for 5 minutes? lel 1337 hackers.
Part of intelligence is understanding that you'll never have everything mastered. If you close your mind and go around boasting, well that's just a recipe for disaster.
