I'm not a surgeon myself, but when I was in medical school the program director of our local general surgery residency told me that in terms of hand skills 90% of surgeons are more or less average, 10% are masters, and 10% are horrific

Agreed. I'd say there is a ladder to the cognitive aspect of writing code. 1. Constructing an algorithm yourself from first principles, then implementing it. Let's call this "architect level" 2. Reading someone else&#x2

I disagree. "Slowed decline by 30%" to me means an absolute reduction of 30% in some rate expressed as unit X over unit time, and that's what I thought you meant until another commenter pointed out that it was a relative redu

In languages (both natural and machine languages) a certain amount of syntax redundancy is a feature. The point of syntax "boilerplate" is to turn typos into syntax errors. When you have a language without any redundant syntactica
