Okay so your definition of “smart” sounds different than the definition everyone else in this thread is using. Sounds more like you’re talking about “genius” to me, specifically in a savant type way where they are incapable of relating to average people.

  • No. I’m talking about genius. Not savant. Savants likely can’t relate to your emotions. Geniuses can. The difference is just if it takes them 1 second to parse what takes you 5 minutes to do the same they often don’t realize this unless you tell them.

    That being said what I talk about lives on a gradient. The smarter you are the greater degree of tendency you have to write shitty code.

    The cleaner your code the higher possible chance you are stupider. It’s not a definitive sign but there is a correlation.
