Why Asians and Slavs are so good at programming?

thats bc theyres a bilion of them, and geniuses are a fraction of the population, not an absolute value

Slavs and chinks were trained under the former communist regimes to worship intellectualism and genius.
While Americans were trained to worship anti-intellectualism.

In Slavlands piracy is normalized and due to later developments in IT infrastructure means you got better tech immediately. Combine these two and it's natural to gravitate towards the information space since you get a lot of content for cheap.

>>109570341
>asians
Software itself is secondary to them which is a healthy mindset when it comes to tech. But when they do write software they try their best because they want to be seen as genius programmers.
>Russians
They're still in the 2000s due to being poor and all the sanctions. It's like an entire country hacking on thinkpads, they couldn't make bloated slop if they wanted to. They also have an excuse to reinvent everything the west does and a perk is being able to learn from our mistakes.

How so? Slavic is very synthetic, the opposite of something analytic like Lojban.
>>
>>109570341
More like Americans are utter shit at Math because they don't have an education system, but an indoctrination system that conditions them to follow orders like robots and have blind obedience to authority. They are so brainwashed they can't even realize they are heavily brainwashed. There are exceptions of course, mostly people who got home schooled.

LLMs are only copy/pasting code from someone else with some extra steps. Is not different that stealing code. Only frauds believe those things can code.

>>109573243
LLMs show that solving problems simply means copying known patterns and applying them in a certain order to get a solution.

nope. to the contrary
its extremely precise, like latin
just like latin, slavic languages use declinations

Wrong. The most important steps are writing clear specifications of preconditions and postconditions, decomposing complex problems into simpler ones to the point they are well known and solved, and defining contractual interfaces that follow software engineering principles to reduce overall complexity.

>>109573361
Latin is also synthetic.
Chinese is not.
>>
>>109573384
wdyem with synthetic?
also chinese by itself occupies a good deal of resources in one's brain
and thats why despite being at least 4x the population china yields more or less as many gold medalists as the slavs

Unironically, american management is way better than russian management. We russians simply don't have a developed management culture, which is why we live in shit.

At the same time, the USSR actually managed to build a system for training olympiad participants in schools. Russia has public schools with advanced studies in math, physics, and programming. The education in these schools is pretty decent even by western standards.

The thing is, a bunch of math/programming/physics olympiad kids doesn't globally affect the country at all. It's literally a drop of honey in an ocean of shit, if you will. With proper management you can achieve much greater success even with mediocre people, while with bad management even a team of geniuses will achieve roughly nothing.

And yeah - olympiads are just puzzle problems for schoolkids. Olympaids allow to select potential future scientists with some degree of success, but nothing more. Most olympiad kids in russia quit doing olympiads right after high school, and already in uni they just go write CRUD backends in Java/Go for $2k/month. Which people with way lower intellectual abilities can do, especially in the age of AI.

Most of my friends and acquaintances who were olympiad kids in school or successfully competed in ICPC contests in university left russia at the very first opportunity. Now they work in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Germany, Australia, and the UAE, but not in Russia.

And there are other examples among my acquaintances who were olympiads. I knew a girl (pretty attractive) who repeatedly won math olympiads. Unfortunately, she committed suicide when she was only 23, literally the year after she graduated from university. And I also have plenty of examples of people who used to be olympiad kids straight up living with their moms and not working, or working in delivery or taxi services.
