10x programmers, and dare I say, 100x programmers exist. I believe one works in my team. It's not the speed at which they write code, but the intuition and motivation with which they write it.
The code is as solid as houses, yet as flexible as a piece of plasticine.
- LastTrain 4y agoChatGPT?
- osrec 4y agoNot yet, but maybe in the future?
- LastTrain 4y agoI meant your reply, was it generated by AI?

Those are all common opinions one might have, but it's unusual to see someone driven to Linux by Mac UI getting in the way, saying it's 'beautiful' when it's the thing that drove them away.

One word comments are usually a sign of particularly poor form, and many of your comments are a single sentence. That can be a sign of deep insight, but usually isn’t.
- LastTrain 4y agoThere is enough feeling insulted going around without having to do it by proxy. And then you go on to directly insult me, irony. Don't worry though, I'm not insulted. My quip was based on the GP's overly flowery language used to describe 10x programmers, that is all. Lighten up Francis...
