Ask HN: Able to code fluently a special trait?
2 by akasakahakada | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I did competitive programming and being able to write extremly complex algorithm after studied 1 week for Python. Then I started to write a 4000 lines of program for a personal project because I didn't know a shit about hashmap/function/class/importing/library. Using an extremely limited subset of the language still deliver the stuff. Cos I only know looping in that time, I can comprehend 6 layers of heterogeneous for loops, each layer doing different thing. I can lay out the structure of code (100lines) in my head then write them out. I can translate everything I want to do in code. But then I meet other people in university labs, I find that people actually struggle in coding, even in top tier university's CS department.
