I wouldn't post anything on HN that I wouldn't want my boss to see, and frankly if I was your boss I wouldn't be that happy that:
"I just tend to bullshit my way through a work week.."
"..build interfaces that look like I'm doing the work when in fact I'm not."
"Sometimes I'll allot a week for something, not do anything on it, and then complete it all a day before it's due"
"it helps to get good at bullshitting"
Honestly, you don't sound professional. To me it's one thing to say, hey I'm burned out and I need to take a half day today. Or hey, I'm burned out, what if I worked on developer tooling for a few days to recharge my batteries.
But lying during meetings and distorting what you are working on are fireable offences, and even if you feel comfortable being that shameless and unethical on your own accord, why the heck would you give advice to someone else to do the same?
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I'm bewildered by this post.
