*I have an immense admiration for Fabrice Bellard*, but he is an exception among these school populations.
- bombcar 1y agoHe is perhaps an exception amongst all programmers, 1 in (total number). There are a few that may be comparable, but all we can do is make sure we don’t prevent the next Bellard, not make more of them
- BiteCode_dev 1y agoYes, but those schools do produce more strong engineers, thinkers, and company leaders than other schools in the country.
- JPLeRouzic 1y agoI have worked with people from Polytechnique, ENS, INSA, and other schools like Supelec. They are above ordinary people, but this is to be expected; however, most of the people I met are unable to create like Fabrice Bellard did. I guess something has changed several times in the past, for example, the number of Nobel prizes per inhabitant in France dropped in the first half of the 20th century, and I don't know why. I also remember reading a text in the 2000' by a Polytechnician who complained about the new generations.
