Seriously. The true geniuses are the non enterprise startup developers developing in JavaScript.

Wait what...

Edit: There’s nothing wrong with being a JS developer. Heck, my main job is JS. My point is the choice of language hardly determines what kind of developer you are. I’ve seen great developers working on VBA and I’ve seen shitty developers working on C/C++ and Java.

To play devils advocate, I don’t think there are too many terrible developers working on Haskell and Rust though. Yet.

I think he's saying the devs are average because they're in massive corps that hire average devs, who are managed by nontechnical, average middle managers.

Those corps often like Microsoft, so that's what those devs work in.

He's not saying working in Microsoft technologies = not a good dev.

There's a joke about monoids and semigroups in here somewhere but my lack of a college education is hindering me.

Someone has to be "average" by sheer laws of statistics. It's not really a criticism.

Most people are average. As defined by the bell curve
