One thing that does equate with intelligence is capability for metacognition.
Less intelligent are also those less capable of realising that they’re overburdening their cognitive capacities with their convoluted code.
More intelligent people are likelier to notice that they’re making things harder for themselves (even if it is within the realm of tolerability) and look for alternative strategies.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoI actually agree with this. I've seen it happen but not in the way you expect. I've seen less intelligent people write unnecessary design patterns and abstractions and end up making things harder for themselves. In essence, the heavy reliance the less intelligent programmer has on writing hyper readable and abstract code ends up damaging the app overall.
