As someone who has difficulty in detecting irony, could you explain the irony in this statement?

How do you know they shipped your code?

He did say he was wrong. He was simply stating he was surprised he didn't realise sooner, given how he had already identified a similar method of forgery in an earlier affair.

It's funny, as a kid I can remember thinking: "Right, everything has to go in the main function unless absolutely necessary, it will just be easier to read that way."

Nowadays, it's the exact opposite!

I don't understand the reasoning about working less time overall. I do something similar with my lunch-breaks: I work through them, and go home an hour earlier at the end of the day. It doesn't mean I've worked less time, just that I've moved the lunch hour to the end of the day. I still work 7.5 hours a day.

This is incredibly user hostile with lines like "you should probably practice a little before embarrassing yourself again" and "It should not take 4.18s to solve that next time."

Is that part of discouraging procrastination or what? As it stands, I couldn't show my sisters this without them getting upset with me.

Damn, I tried searching up some rap lyrics that I knew worked a couple of days ago, no dice. How long does this penalisation last?

You would have to make a huge number of assumptions to draw the conclusion that this guy is a psychopath or otherwise a no-lifer. So what if he continues working after dinner? Does he say what he works on? It could be anything, personal projects, writing..

I know that I split my post-work time in to my various projects, and I wouldn't personally call it 'work'. I understand that others believe that you should take the time to watch television or play games or otherwise unwind. For me, working on my projects lets me unwind. I'm not sure what people mean by 'balance', when I consider my own projects the 'life' part of work-life.

This guy gets up early, keeps himself fit, works hard, keeps up the social side of things (sure, he might talk about work over lunch, but he doesn't say he doesn't just shoot the shit too), and then gets on with stuff he enjoys. This doesn't scream Patrick Bateman to me at all.

I'm not entirely sure what you're driving at. It seems you're equating having a routine with being a psychopath. While narcissism like in your extract can be considered part of the dark triad, it seems like you've decided the OP is also a narcissist with little to no evidence to back it up. Then again, I can only guess at what you're getting at when your only statement (argument?) is a quote from a piece of fiction.

Working out regularly does not make you a narcissist. In fact, he doesn't even specify the exercises he does. For all we know, he goes jogging to help boost his cardiovascular health, rather than pumping iron. And even if he did pump iron, let him. It's what he wants to do, and it doesn't make him a psycho.

Why don't they authenticate with their own Twitter account? I'm not sure why they would need mine.

Haha, great. This reminds me of The Typing of the Dead and its sequel(s?), which were basically The House of the Dead games re-written so you had to type rather than point a gun. Brilliant stuff, this game.
