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.
This is the silliest thing I've ever heard
Probably because you think you're smart AND you write excessively clean code and are excessively anal about it. Whether you actually are smart is a different story.
