@arctic17203 @MadelaineLucyH Why don't you just apply for Mensa and take their exam?
English

@MadelaineLucyH Oh come on, I didn't get into a fight with that guy, he totally started it and went pretty ham.
You don't have to take it. There's no challenge or proof you need to provide and it's not mine it's mensa's.
Admit it, you're having so much fun

Enjoy the vast and extraordinary mind of the intellectual depths of this man who confidently posts about his IQ test result, gets into a fight with a man who claims to have one 11 points higher than his, and then accepts he hasn’t taken an IQ test at all and demands we take his online challenge 🙏😭💀

@MadelaineLucyH Aw where did that vaugepost clearly talking about me go? I fall for obvious rhetorical traps cause I'm not trying to beat you just have a fun conversation I can comprehsievly explain my non changing position on the subject if you want Or did you just want to keep talking to me😏

My top 10 N64 games. And Goldeneye isn't in the top three.
It's at 5. Four games beat it and I'll defend every one.
Most "Top 10" lists are the same four Nintendo first-party titles everyone copied off a 1999 GameFAQs thread and never thought about again. Mine isn't that.

@frozenaesthetic It's so that you don't think they mean tune a guitar.

This is a problem of language. "Chinese" describes a nation, a group of ethnicities, as well as a geographical region. Being born in China would not make someone ethnically Han, but many people born in China are not, yet are still Chinese citizens. Many Xinjiang people can be considered "white" Chinese. But the question asked is ambiguous: It doesn't specify "Chinese" as an ethnicity, region, nationality, etc. Reverse this and ask "If someone with Chinese parents was born in the United States, do they cease to be Chinese?" and I'd be surprised if you answer "Yes."

@unclebobmartin @garybernhardt Yeah, but you aren't a REAL programmer since you use AI. 😂

I got my first job as a paid programmer in 1968. At that time programming looked like writing code on coding forms with pencils and then handing those forms to key punch operators who punched the cards. Then we would take those cards to the Computer room and hand them to an operator who would run a compile. The cards were read into a card reader and more cards would be punched. Those cards were the binary that were subsequently placed back into the card reader. Then the operator would push some buttons on the front control panel and the program would execute.
The first few years of my career were involved with either punched cards or paper tape. The editing terminal was always a piece of paper with a pencil. It was only after a few years that I was able to use a CRT display. Even then the main editing terminal was a piece of paper with a pencil. But we would then painstakingly type that code into the CRT display. The source code was stored on magnetic tape, which was slow and error prone, but better than punched cards.
A few years later, the source code was finally stored on discs. The discs were slow and big and ponderous. But they were better than magnetic tape. We were finally able to edit on the CRT displays. That editing was slow and ponderous, and mostly line oriented, but it was better than previously. We stopped using paper and pencil as the primary editing tool. Compiles generally took many minutes — sometimes hours.
A few years later, and now we’re in the 90s, memory got big enough, and the discs got small and fast enough that compiles that used to take an hour could be done in a few minutes. We were able to use editors like vi, or even eMacs.
In the 2000s, we left the editor world for the IDE world. I chose InteliJ for my IDE and I used that right up until five months ago. I know it’s controversial to say this, but IDEs were generally better than editors; even than eMacs. (Well, maybe ;-)
Now I don’t use now anything but a terminal window. And maybe sometimes I bring up some file in text mate.
The changes in programmer experience over the last six decades have been enormous and radical. Every one of them was good. This one is no different.

I am absolutely more productive using agents. I don't know the factor but it's large. However much of that productivity is spent tuning the agents and hardening the product. I'm guessing 30%-40%.
Some might consider that a waste; but I don't. The software I'm creating nowadays is vastly more robust than I'd ever been able to create manually.
I don't mean that the code is better. I mean the surrounding tests are vastly better. I have a higher degree of confidence than I ever had manually -- even when I used very disciplined TDD and Acceptance testing.
And then there's the ability to quickly reorganize the modules and the architecture while keeping those robust tests running. That is a tremendous boon.

@IanCrossland Wooooow strawberries didn't even make the list but pears did?

@kitten_beloved Easy "yes." I would blog, livestream, and go on podcasts to talk about my challenge. I'd spend most days swimming and hitting the gym. This would be awesome. If a shark comes at me, I'll punch him in the fuckin nose. 30 seconds is NOTHING.
