Anybody else hide their power level?
Yes. In my experience, many people still don't recognize any level of nuance in computer skills. They assume that because I know how to install an alternate browser and an ad blocker, then I must be some super elite hacker who can fix anything and everything with their computer. It's as if I assumed that just because someone knows how to drive stick shift, then they should know how to rebuild my transmission for me. So I usually just pretend I'm as tech-illiterate as anyone else.
Most of the time it's all pain no gain if you people know you can fix computers.
Yeah. The phrase "I write compilers" doesn't impress people.

I pretend to be in sales
There's no need. My friends are smart enough to fix their own shit. Also I'm not fully autistic so I'm able to talk about things other than technology

Tech babbies will be tech babbies, until they find this "super cool hacking tool" that lets them sniff WiFi packets and they think they're the shit. It's the equivalent of a toddler being proud of a finger painting.
