From what you have written I can see you don't suck (I'd need to meet you and see some of your code to actually assess you're good :). You see, you used words like "Bayesian", "Promises". Guys that I was writing about not only don't know what promises are, they don't give a fuck either. A rockstar (in my book, at least) would hear about them and google them as soon as possible.
So at the end of the day, it's not really about experience, it's the attitude.
- randallsquared 14y agoBy your criteria, everyone on HN is a rock star. I think that might be too broad. :)
- btilly 14y agoThe Bayesian stuff that I'm going through has zero pretensions to being the latest and greatest. I only know "Promises" because I saw that on HN recently. However the concept behind JavaScript promises is one that I've seen before (I first saw it buried in a sideways way inside of http://search.cpan.org/~karasik/IO-Lambda/ http://search.cpan.org/~karasik/IO-Lambda/) and the name "promises" already has a spot reserved in my brain for their use in infinite streams. Therefore if someone mentions JavaScript promises to me again in 6 months I'll draw a blank. There are some code samples linked in the articles in http://elem.com/~btilly/ab-testing-multiple-looks/index.html http://elem.com/~btilly/ab-testing-multiple-looks/index.html if you want to look. I wasn't writing that code for anyone except myself, so it isn't particularly pretty. (It did get the job done though.)
