"You have to be a terrible programmer to even consider using a base 10 logarithm for this."

That's not a fair statement.

Good programmers are programmers who deliver value - who build robust, maintainable features in reasonable time that address user needs.

Whether or not you would quickly find the correct approach to this specific problem is a miniscule, pedantic detail in a giant ocean of programming skills and experiences.
