      I also know devs who make that kind of money, but they are the exception not the norm.

      I have already watched that video and 10k hours is not that much. That’s just 5h a day for 5.5 years. I also can immediately recognize undefined behavior in C++, and I have at most 2 years of experience. Let me tell you for someone who has been programming for more than a decade, all the languages are the same. It’s not hard to become an expert in a different langauge once you have the basics down.

          Well now put in 10h a day and you are an expert in half the time. Now also consider that languages are quite similar to each other and you could become an expert in less than 10k hours. So she being an expert in more than 2 languages doesn’t sound so unreasonable anymore, right?

          But when people showed you she has been programming since she was 12 and absolutely has had the time to put in, you just don’t believe it.

              You haven’t proven shit. Just because those two aren’t on her stackoverflow doesn’t mean she doesn’t know them. You really have no concept of how evidence and proof work.

                  No, you claimed that, over and over and over, with no evidence. You linked a video about how people generally become masters at things, argued she (probably) hasn’t put in that amount of time (despite evidence to the contrary), then you made some equally unsubstantiated claims about the exact amount of years it supposedly takes to learn java and c++, and again argued (despite evidence to the contrary) that she hasn’t had to time to learn those either.

      You are just moving the goalpost… Before you said “So yeah, “hello world” and loops it’s.” Claiming she was basically a beginner or hobbyist. Now you are arguing she isn’t an “expert” and define expert at the absolute far right side of the bell curve. Why does it matter to you so much that she not get recognition for her work?
