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.
