When solving a computing problem, is it better to have a strong

What the fuck is your concept of "strong programmer"?

great thread, great stuff

As it's a computing problem you would want a strong programmer who knows computers. The algorithm Dev can go fuck himself bc the programmer only needs to talk to the problem domain specialist.

Algorithm development is a meme skill from shit mathematicians who know computing has left them far behind

When performing a physical activity, is it better to be good at running or good at sports?

Someone who is skilled.

Someone who does not leave vulnerabilities or holes in code.

hmm I choose strong troublshooter

An algorithm is a set of ordered commands in natural language such as

>take two eggs
>crack eggs into bowl
>whisk eggs

A programmer takes these commands and makes the computer understand them. Then repeats this process 10,000 times.

Ergo...

programmers are just disposable resources like construction workers or anyone in manual labor. the designer/architect is the more important entity.

The designer/architect still needs strong programming ability. Otherwise, they would just be another clueless idea guy.

Bullshit. Engineers don't know how the real world works. Most have never even walked in a home depot. Its like a composer who can't play an instrument

A strong troubleshooter would be better than a strong algorithm developer, but a strong hacker would be able to defeat all of them
