Pretty much every professional programmer I've ever met either feels the way you describe in your latter sentence or is convinced they're the best ever. There is rarely an in between.
honestly I feel bad for the parents though, if the toddler had understanding of what it meant anyway, but like must be a blow to the self esteem to not have one of the parents be position one lol
Grandparents. They buy the donuts when the kids sees them at the supermarket, they put the money in the ride things at the mall, and when the kids being a little shit they leave it to the parents to tell them off.
The only way parents take top prize is if the kid forgets they have grandparents (or if they don't have grandparents).
