This is an obvious and observable fact. An MIT trained programmer is probably smarter than a CS grad from a big state school. To deny this is to deny the obvious difference between an elite CS education and a run-of-the-mill state school education.

Of course one is better than the other.

As someone who went to a state school this does not bother me at all. CS education is not locked behind some door in a secret location - its open to anyone with internet access.

What makes one programmer better than the next is the extent to which he invests in educating himself.

The twitter thread and this comment section is a good reminder I don't belong on HN. I feel like the most complex coding I have done is write a CRUD web app haha.

I don't think you know what clickbait means. The title describes what he did perfectly without any addition.

Some projects I wanted to do:

- key/value storage system like LevelDB but less complex

- Infrastructure monitoring tool. Collect basic data. Something like datadog, but simplified of course

- terminal text editor, w/ ncurses for development ease

- A cross platform lightweight PDF reader, maybe using mupdf as a backend.

I hope everyone agrees how insane this is. Language is not a rigid construct, it is inherently contextual.

spend as little time on your computer as possible and as much time outdoors as possible.

Wow I don't even know what to say haha.
