If that's all you can say in German, it's like _copying_ a "Hello world" program from someone else. That takes two seconds.
- akkartik 19y agoI was taking amichail's comparison - writing small programs in python vs learning a new natural language - and making it even more extreme to highlight its unfairness. Apparently nobody gets sarcasm anymore :)
