I know it’s hyperbole, but reading that was actually more inspiring than anything ever said to me by a neurotypical trying to motivate me.

I’ll add another quip:

“Watch me swindle my way up an IT-career using nothing but my brain, a search engine and the power of spite.”

    “Watch me swindle my way up an IT-career using nothing but my brain, a search engine and the power of spite.”

    I felt this in my soul. I work in IT and I can describe my job 3/4 of the time as “professional googler.”

    I want to frame this and put it on my wall. It’s a tad weird how well this works for me.

        I don’t think that’s the point of the book, but sure it can be used like that if you’re a psycho with no empathy for others, but then again, most things are like that.
