My anecdotal usage is a combination of these two. Until I saw your provided definition I would have described chip on my shoulder to mean a sense of superiority that leads to me be rude or difficult to interact with.

Interestingly enough, I concluded Wordle was definitely not dying when I looked at its Google trends just yesterday. A linear decrease in popularity from 100 to 50 is amazing staying power. Of course it's not going to be as popular as

If someone went into basket weaving club and said "look at my basket" with something they bought from the store, everyone would be a bit annoyed, even if ultimately it doesn't matter.

Many of the comprehension questions could have been answered without reading the article. But some were quizzing irrelevant parts of the text. It's a hard balance to strike

I don't think there was any high horsing that took place or was implied. I recommend you don't leave comments such as that one you just left since it comes across as rude.

I'm not sure why absolute values are inherently easier to analyze than rates. My income is a rate so I find normalizing on time to be pretty useful. I think $/use is pretty similar to normalizing on time

This idea was one of the things that really solidified my early learning of programming. I made a lot of games using Scratch back in the day and I recall someone creating a tutorial on how to use recursion to draw trees. Whoever that was ta

I felt pretty proud of myself when I scored 99 percentile on a codesignal exam. Especially since I consider many of their tests to be more legitimate than leetcode. Some of their tests though are odd. I don't think the bugfix style is

What I don't understand is why power would be so relevant. I want to know if going from A to B would increase my revenue. I run an A/B test and see statistical significance, even if a minor one. I now know that B is better than A.
