Okay that entire paragraph was a lie. Did you believe me? If so, why? Was it because I looked like a kid programming whiz? When that photo was taken, I didn’t even know how to touch-type. My parents were just like, “Quick, pose in front of our new computer!” (Look closely. My fingers aren’t even in the right position.) My parents were both humanities majors, and there wasn’t a single programming book in my house.

This is fascinating. Asian kid uses his history of “looking like he knows what he is doing” to explain how he was able to fake it till he made it.
