I think OPs complaint is that the service purports to find "great" programmers where they really mean "adequately competent to perform most tasks and able to learn". Another case of marketing speak annoying the nerds.
- justincormack 15y agoI dont think so. He said it would provide puzzles to annoy people and be solved by the time rich. No "great" programmers involved...
- hugh3 15y agoProgrammers in the category "adequately competent" tend to self-identify as "great", so it is at least a consistent use of language. And is it any wonder? Threads like this are filled with comments saying things like "80% of programmers can't code their way out of a paper bag", so is it any wonder that the folks who can program adequately get big heads about it?
- yid 15y agoNo wonder at all, although tech is far from the only field with big heads.
- anonymoushn 15y agoI don't think there are any comments saying things like that :)
