Good code is concise. Good writing is also concise. This writing is not concise, it is verbose. I read some, waiting for a point to be made. No point was made, so I gave up.

The question asked is what makes a good programmer. Well there is one trivial way to screen out bad programmers. Eliminate all members of modern western culture. This is because they are bad people, part of a bad culture, who are bad at all good activities. Since modern culture is evil, everything it produces is disgusting crap.

I recently hired a programmer using this ad. I posted this ad to a service that distributed it widely. And I received many examples of horrid code. Finally I saw one example of good code. I talked to the guy and he started ranting against modern culture without any prompting from me. And so I found a good programmer.
