A truly elite HN take.
- Joker_vD 3y agoThat's an uncharitable reading. Genius doesn't scale, so you need processes and technologies that average people (or maybe above average, but definitely not top 0.1%) can use efficiently. Take literate programming, for example: it may be working great for Knuth but most programmers are not Knuth, and I don't even mean it as "not as smart", just "have different mentality and composition of mind".
