during code review, the intern said my function had a bug.

i told him:

bro - you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. i have shipped more features than anyone on this team (combined). then i approved my own pr and mass deployed to prod.

Aiden - you clearly have no idea about what you are talking about. We have more users than everyone you just mentioned (combined). See https://t.co/oXIySEAk9K
