People with these type of salaries are usually managers and don't really code that much anymore. I don't really get your point there. Also could you explain what an expert for you really is?
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.
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.
I'm only still here because you are being a gatekeeping asshole, and because of your constant abuses of the word "proof". Just because they aren't on her stackoverflow doesn't mean she doesn't know them. You think it is impossible for her to know 5 programming languages (and constantly redefine "know" in that context) and have claimed so without proof.
You are wasting your own time by "chatting" on lemmy, don't try to put that shit on me.
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?
Can I ask you what your background is in programming/computer science?
Fyi DMs on lemmy don't have the best privacy. Don't think of them as private.
But you sure like to make the big claims despite your convenient issue with providing anything to back them up. Maybe don't act like a rude gatekeeping "expert" if you aren't even willing to provide credentials.
You still don't actually have proof she doesn't know java and C++ but you don't care, apparently as long as you say it enough that is good enough for you.
I've had to use at least 5 different languages at work. Its not uncommon when you have a large, diverse, OLD codebase. We had scripts in Perl and python, my area of expertise was in Java, and most of the codebase was in C and C++.
