- lproven 3y agoI thought it was a superb and very important essay. I really liked it and I have shared it widely. I find it very sad that so many people, including the majority of the comments here, did not understand what you were saying, and either totally misinterpret the whole thing, or pick on minor unimportant details and misunderstand them. Thank you for writing it.
- subjectsigma 3y agoWhat am I supposed to take away from this then? > I haven't been diagnosed with any specific medical condition, but my mental capacity is very limited. … So what do I do about it? I use the simplest mainstream language available (Go) and very basic Python.
- ninetyninenine 3y agoI think and I don't speak for him, but he's saying he writes simple code because he's stupid, which is different from saying simple code is stupid, because smart people can also choose to write simple code. Op may be too harsh on himself but it's an open possibility that he may also be honest and accurate in his own self assessment.
- subjectsigma 3y agoIf that’s what he is saying this is probably the worst possible way he could have done it
- nalgeon 3y agoDefinitely not "simple code is stupid".
- subjectsigma 3y agoOk well you should work on your writing then because it sucks and doesn’t communicate your points well. If I said “The sky is blue today. So, I went outside.” You would probably be surprised to learn that I hate clear weather and prefer the rain. Because, that would violate the most implicit, obvious assumption in my statement… Likewise you saying “I’m mentally deficient. So I have to use Go” makes it seem pretty fucking obvious to me what you think about Go programmers and programming in general
- lproven 3y agoYou've totally failed to understand what the essay is about, and you are angrily trying to argue your incorrect understanding with the author when it is not what he said.
- nalgeon 3y agoIt's good to know I'm not the only one who has trouble with basic logical reasoning!
- subjectsigma 3y agoShit, maybe I should have taken your post literally, you do seem like an idiot.
