Why Asians and Slavs are so good at programming?
>>109570341>chinksthats bc theyres a bilion of them, and geniuses are a fraction of the population, not an absolute value>slavsi think its the sapir-whorf hypothesis at work here
>>109570360someone is sad he's not on the list kekolino
>>109570391such is loifhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef9QnZVpVd8
Slavs and chinks were trained under the former communist regimes to worship intellectualism and genius.While Americans were trained to worship anti-intellectualism.
When you don't season your food, your IQ goes down.
>>109570341Apparently Turks can be pretty good too, but only if their first name is Ahmet> #20> #35
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>asiansSoftware 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.>RussiansThey'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.
>>109570341Slav mindset
>>109570341That Rus-Belarus nationality blurred out though.>Nooooooo, da Russians can't think in any way
>>109570341>USA>chink namesevery time
>>109570360Even the American ones are Chinese even though they're less than 2% of the population
>>109571743the average american parent collects divorces like pokemon cardsand the american schools teach gay sex instead of algebrathis is not a recipe for success
>>109570491Only if you're a devshirme rapebaby with high IQ balkan genes. Turks are low IQ mutts in general.
>>109571844Then why is America so many more times successful than russia? In russia supposedly everyone can read and do calculus by the time they finish highschool yet they are just dumb as rocks
>>109570341where are the indians. they're good at programming too
>>109572449short version: read a couple economy booksslightly less short version: running on fumes from the boom post ww2 with debt based economy, colateralized with the marshall plan
>>109572452the chart said>lol, lmao even

>>109572524>running on fumes>for the last 80 yearsok
>>109570989>It's like an entire country hacking on thinkpads, they couldn't make bloated slop if they wanted to.Here me hacking on my poor thinkpad
>>109573056>not an outdated vista-era machine with intel Core 2 Duo and ATI graphicscringe
>>109572449Wrong, America is not more successful. A few corrupt oligarchs are successful, not the people, not you.>>109573056> Not an intelaviv processor.Based.
>>109570341Sadly the Slaves who coded the games I like to play have massive skill issues regarding memory usage despite using garbage collected languages.
>>109570341LLMs can now beat all of them and do it within seconds
>>109570360>sapir-whorf hypothesis at work hereHow so? Slavic is very synthetic, the opposite of something analytic like Lojban.
>>109570341More 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.
between russians, israelis and belarusians like 1/5th of the top 30 have their country blanked kek
>>109573188LLMs 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.
>>109573243LLMs show that solving problems simply means copying known patterns and applying them in a certain order to get a solution.
>>109573208nope. to the contraryits extremely precise, like latinjust like latin, slavic languages use declinations
>>109573279Wrong. 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.
>>109573361Latin is also synthetic.Chinese is not.
>>109573384wdyem with synthetic?also chinese by itself occupies a good deal of resources in one's brainand thats why despite being at least 4x the population china yields more or less as many gold medalists as the slavs
>>109570341Bug mentality
>>109570341>>109572449>why is America so many more times successful than russiaUnironically, 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.t. russian with olymp background

>>109570341my parents are both stemfags so they memed me into become a stemfag too
>>109574365>become*becoming
>>109570341does this leetcode on steroids really represent actual programming tho :(t. failed IOI TST
>>109574428of course not, most of programming is just turning weird business requirements into abstractions that can run on a computah. in the end it's more about symbolical thinking
