My ex-friend was kind of that person in college. He single handedly managed to almost get himself a rustication from the college over the accusation of hacking remotely into the college system, turned that whole situation around into an opportunity and became the only student working with college administration and re-writing the whole SSO and putting MFA which was built from scratch. The guys also worked on the college app which was later handed over to the student team he built and legitimised with the student body for maintenance and minor development. Also worked on re-writing the election voting system used by the student election bodies, and an e-application management system to remove paperwork for any college related work during covid and also did open source contribution all this while (all projects are live and we're deployed by him on almost bare metal server of the college, so no dummy projects here). Currently he is doing a PhD in internet networking in the US while being from a non CS branch in college. Unfortunately from a human standpoint the guy is a big narcissist (like legit he and I tested ourselves and he got 98/100 in the test for narcissism). I didn't mind his actions towards other people much until one day the bullet came back to bite me and I had to shut him out of my life forever. Definitely a 11/10 guy if we remove the personality stuff 🙃
I am one and there are four more in my team
Have you ever heard the term 'Narcissist'
How does that apply here, I am lucky enough to be around high performing motivated ppl, your situation might suck that doesn’t mean everyone is going through the same

But how? What do you do different?
for starters I once told a friend the language he made is shit (he is doing PhD and worked in top companies including Amazon). He didn't fix the issues I pointed out, next thing I presented it as a challenge to break in a conference where I explained why the language sucks. Bagged 2000$ + two books and an SSD (they were offering a 200$ keyboard but I asked them to send me amazon voucher instead).
Iam 0.3x
I know a game dev by passion who hacked his college website and got expelled because he told them.
Made pretty decent games but didn't get enough traction as an indie dev.
Now he's working at gitlab in Amsterdam living his best life. Still doesn't have a degree afaik.
