Yeah I sadly couldnt get through the version with the russian guy speaking over it lol. But I got the gist of it from some comments elsewhere when googling the URL.
Ive told this story before but I had a black classmate my freshman year who needed help with a project. Somewhat complex for a 101 class but basically we had to scan a text file, parse out the data, and output it in the console in a chart format.
I figured it couldn’t be too hard so I sat down with him but by the end I was just writing his code for him. He probably couldn’t understand if statements but I definitely remember him not comprehending while loops at all. Bur the striking thing that spurred me to take the keyboard from him, was when I was telling him what to type. I said “now print x to the console” and he straight up typed “now print x to the console”. I was dumbfounded. To you and I that implicitly means “cout << x;” but it was like he lacked the ability to translate that simple operation into code.
I hear lots of stories like this in programming subreddits. Interviewers attest to people getting hired without even knowing fizzbuzz. Lots of them were definitely pajeets. Programming really is a 120+ activity.
