Hey, it's not a feeling. It's a fact.

It is certainly a fact, that you feel superior.

I would like to confirm that fact, by comparing productive output..

Define "productive output".

Producing code, that primarily solves the real world problem (not aesthetic ones).

What kind of code? People who want to solve real-world problems treat programming languages like tools in their toolbox. In the past week at work I wrote Scala, HTML, JavaScript, YAML, and Terraform. I also remove tons of code from my production systems whenever I get the chance as it solves a real-world problem for me (maintainability of the code base).

'Producing code' to measure 'superiority' is about as useful a metric as counting lines of code to measure productivity.
