This man, Fabrice Bellard again... Frankly, I have not seen a more impressive portfolio of programming output.

    Everyone has an accent that tells where they are coming from. People who think they don’t have an accent simply don’t know that they have one.

      Or so the Germans would have us believe.

      Not true. I'm a French native and I've been fooled both ways: by native speakers having an accent and by non-native using idioms and tone flawlessly. Some people are just masters at imitating tones and accents.

  I never understood why we triggered such hate on the Internet.

      Would you mind explaining to me what is funny in this?

    Americans (just a wild guess, that he is one) seem to have two strange phobiae: Herpes and French people.

    It’s a long story IMHO. You can find hate pretty far back in history, mostly because of the many wars involving France. Recently I would mention the lack of appreciation towards the allies after the WW2, or France not invading Irak with others because of the (fake) mass destruction weapons. In addition to that, Frenchmen are quite patriotic and proud so it’s a fun target. It’s also an allied country and a strong one so it’s not very politically incorrect to be a bit racist as a joke. Most people don’t dare to say the same about China or Zimbabwe for obvious reasons.

      > the lack of appreciation towards the allies after the WW2 Where did you get this impression? The US were basically seen as the it country for decades. > for obvious reasons. It's not really obvious for me. Why is “he is a great programmer despite being French” seen as OK, whereas e.g. “he is a great programmer despite being Black” would clutch (and rightly so) many pearls?

I wonder if he ever went to interview they would try leetcode, or what is that squiggly thing in a code sample is for or are you a Language XXX programmer and other similar things. I can bet that this guy would probably fail many standard selection criteria.

  I can bet that he wouldn’t.
