It's a personal blog. I didn't read this as an employer. Someone greener may read this and think "this guy is really hard on himself but, unlike me, he's done so much more! Maybe we'll always feel this way so I should just be kinder to myself."

The modern internet is stuffed to the gills with branding and bravado. Some vulnerability is fine.

Author here! Thanks for this. This is exactly what I want people to feel :) I'm willing to hurt my chances if it helps others
