I believe you are normal, talented, and have a great future ahead of you !
You'll need to investigate what the trade-offs, for you, are in using CSS to do fancy graphic stuff, or animations, that go "beyond tagged mark-up" frontiers vs. using one of the spate of JavaScript libraries that enable such things.
cheers, Bill

So I get an unlocked Android phone - running the latest android - text messages have all these dang big circles with initials.....
then at my current contract, I am force-ably upgraded to Office 365. All of my email has big circles...
Yahoo Messenger (yes, I know, sigh....) forces me to upgrade to the latest messenger... more big circles.. wtf?
Did I miss a UI pattern?

It makes a change from the blocky square edge design that MS is putting into everything! Are you sure there are circles on Office365?

We've had the fisher paykel squares, now you are getting the google circles, next year some idjit designer is going to use triangle and we'll be off on another fad!

Triangles at least fit together nicely, and you can use them as "like" / "dislike" buttons as well!
I can see the UI designers salivating as I type!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Big circles. Little circles. Who cares about any circles? They are pointless.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You sure you weren't upgraded to Office360? The 5-fewer-than-a-full-suite knockoff.
No, I'm not being serious.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

So, I looked at what an ex-consultant at the company where I work posted for his experience:
Contracting onsite and remote as Senior Software Engineer for: [redacted] (fintech industry)
Responsible for check cashing (Datawire XML, FirstData Telecheck packets)
Magnetic stripe (AAMVA, tracks1-3) features
and contributed EMV, RF-ID, ACH (Dwolla), POS (Poynt) features
using Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Javascript, Backbone, Chromium, ATM (Diebold);
Everything, except the first part, is a lie. OK, it was written in Python, but it was so bad that we ripped it out and rewrote it.
- He did no Django, PostgresSql, Javascript, Backbone, or Chromium work.
- The Diebold ATM arrived after he left.
- We've never done RF-ID
- We still haven't gotten our EMV ducks in a row to even begin that work
- He never touched Dwolla and Poynt (and neither has anyone else yet either.)
- He never did anything with the magstripe readers.
I would imagine that the rest of his work experience is equally dishonest.

"cashing"??
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I thought about listing one of my skills on LinkedIn as CodeProject Lounge Lizard but I don't think most people would get the joke.

Maybe not, but the ones who do get the joke are probably people you'd enjoy working with.

My CV is completely accurate -- apart from the bit about how I was rocketed to Earth as an infant from the planet Krypton, of course.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

No, that would be your alter ego, Clark Wallace?!?!?

It gets even worse when a mid level developer on your team promotes himself as the lead developer on a project where YOU were the lead. This particular guy (we were working for Dell in Australia) is now happily working in New York focused on SharePoint development. This guarantees In will never need to deal with him again.
There was no recourse to dispute the details in those days, don't know now as I do not keep up with linkedin.
