Can you show me where I said:
"all programmers at Google"
"amazed"
"world-changing ideas"
What I see are your words, not mine. Yet they are attributed to me.
If this is an "argument" as you suggest, then you are doing a poor job at making your case.
There is a difference between 1. "research" and developing "novel" ideas and 2. executing well on large projects. It's possible to accomplish 2. without invoking 1., and vice versa.
There is no contradiction.
When a programmer complains there's nothing in "apt" to solve his problem, I'm never impressed. Nor am I ever surprised. Convenience makes some programmers very lazy.
