- nostrademons 16y agoHonestly...I don't think that search evidences talent at all. If I didn't already know who Russ Cox was (and seen his code in projects like Google CodeSearch, re2, and Go), I'd think him just another Internet idiot. There is a big difference between watching someone code and watching them talk about coding. Ability in the latter is not indicative of ability in the former.
- rch 16y agoBeing able to recognize the innate potential of others by indirect means is itself a talent.
