I think exactly the same thing as I said before. Maybe the people that are really good at it are naturally gifted to some degree but the main bulk of their skill is putting in the time. The people that say "oh I could never draw" or "I could never play an instrument" are both doing themselves a disservice and minimizing the time an effort that the skilled people put into it.
Of course not. I'm talking about other professional software developers when I say they don't put in the work. You're putting words in my mouth.
Oh fuck off. I never said I was making a snappy comeback. You're just making shit up about me in your head.
