npub17esnvwnpunszha3whjk4y4xe0g7u8maswrul49lgg4sqpxanlkjsjkclcm (npub17es…clcm) working alone is a degenerate behavior, i myself have been kicking. i have now understood the mark of an excellent programmer is the ability to be better in a group than by themselves as the irreducibly complex nature of the technology requires hyper specialization. if all you know is how to write an OS you have almost nothing to give back as there is so much more than one person can learn in a lifetime that is needed to truly achieve excellence.
when working with the irreducibly complex machines that computers are, excellence is being able to parallelized your workload and rely on other hyper specialized people to build things with you.
being nice is the first step on that road.
