Literally all it takes is proper practice, and adequate time to learn. You aren’t fucken born for it. I’m sure anyone could do it with a UBI and a cheap thinkpad.

perhaps 1 in 100 software developers that might apply for a job are really up to snuff.
Lol. This is not the calibre of the developer pool, it’s that the company sucks and the great developers can tell that by the time they finish reading the job post.

Fuck off with the special diamond in the rough .1% bullshit… good developers are trained. I do think there’s a mental predisposition for some folks to think in a way compatible with computers but good developers aren’t birthed fully formed into the world.

Also: Let’s be honest, 99.9999% of our work is not that special. It’s cookie cutter business software. There are only of handful of problems I encountered where you could argue, it would have actually required an “awesome” developer. All the others were business problems, lack of knowledge or too ambitious deadlines (thanks, sales!).
Nowadays, I’m lucky if I get more than 2h in code per day. Even if I were the best dev in the world, my company wouldn’t benefit that much.
