Tell me /g/, what's your excuse?
I do network security cause im not a fucking codemonkey
>>51843129
nice meme
I'm dumb
>>51843149
network monkey
>>51843129
I'm too old, suck at programming, and don't even own a smart phone or a tablet(No I don't count using apps on windows 10 on a desktop as a thing because that's even more stupid). That's my excuse.
>vertexMax = 2 * vertexMax
>using *= a few lines before
>>51843129
Umm have you seen how easy it is to make apps??
This idiot again?
>Taught how to code by his parents from an early age
>All the apps are really simple stuff like a game of life game and one of those swap block puzzles
>Media goes crazy over this "genius" because they believe knowing how to code after being taught by people who do it for a living means you're super smart if you're a kid
>Scholarships all around the same as that mudslime kit who took a clock radio out of it's case, stuck it in a pencil case, tried to get people to believe it was a bomb and when he got into trouble for his attitude, not his "bomb" and the media went nuts over him
If you're new, we concluded that like most "child geniuses", this guy is basically just a fraud.
I don't come from a wealthy or minority family somewhere in the US.
>>51843241
Did that kid win that court case and the money? I heard about it and never followed up on it
>>51843280
Not yet at least. I'm not sure if the lawsuit has actually even been filed yet because when the lawsuit became news it was just the lawyer hired by the kid's dad (who's one of those "Everything is racist against muslims"-types) announcing that they were going to sue the school district.
>>51843129
nice proprietary software faggot
>>51843129
There is this guy and then there's the guy who made Unturned at age 16 which is the 15th most played game on steam.
> Teenagers have contributed more to others than you will in your entire life.
>>51843129
Big deal. I just looked at all his "apps" and they are nothing more than some API calls, UI and some good marketing.
Let me know when he can make 165k/yr doing maybe 20 hours of SharePoint JS work a week.
>> feels good writing what amounts to trivial data shuffling and make fucking bank.
That's way cooler than writing a bunch of shit apps for free.
>>51843303
They already had that kid win scholarships and a bunch of free bullshit so I don't understand the money as well. Well, greed is greed but don't blow your load before the kid can even take advantage of the free college
>When he was 12, Erik Demaine talked himself into Dalhousie University in his home town of Halifax, Nova Scotia, despite having no grades or academic record to speak of. Eight years and a Ph.D. later, he became MIT's youngest professor in the fall of 2001. He specializes in computational origami--the geometry of paper folding.
>>51843350
Is not that Unturned is great. Is that we humans are starting to like simple things and we discourage complexity and detail. We forgot about classical music, we forgot about realism, then expressionism, then came minimalism and now superflat. Same is happening with literature, media, technology, society. We are slowly getting back to stone age.
>>51843541
no we just started giving a fuck about all the flashy bullshit and only look to get some functionality, its a good thing
as for games, check out fucking pong, or space invaders, people loved that shit; games are much more complex now and you couldnt even release a game like those and have it become popular.
your post is shit
>>51843366
Obviously the actual idea of the lawsuit is not to get money, but to get some kind of acknowledgement from the legal system that they were being racist against his son. The same way as with Elen Pao's gender discrimination lawsuit, the lawsuit being dismissed will be interpreted as even the legal system being in on it by the political correctness crowd.
Seriously thou, what the kid did was practically equivalent of a black guy going around and calling every white person he comes across an inbred hick. Eventually somebody's going to take a swing at him the same way somebody was eventually going to tell the kid to put the fake bomb making "beep-beep-beep" noises away.
>>51843216
hey fucku man unlike you this kid is actually elite man. dont question him the answers to his code come to him in his dreams u cant question that. hes way more mysterious and smart than you will ever be
isnt he also a spic?
OK, so basically he did what I did in CS I in highschool except on the iPhone instead of C++. What kind of shitty CS programs do they have in America?
>>51843207
Unless you're developing for iOS, you don't need any of that to develop for a mobile platform. Android SDK comes with an Android emulator.
>>51843784
part 2
>>51843350
Not true.
>>51843784
the fucking iOS apps are just for fun you fucking autistic retards
as you can clearly tell in the video HIS #1 GOAL
is developing the software for the solar cells to get higher efficiency and intake more energy.
>>51843241
He skipped a bunch of grades you idiot, and when this mini documentraty came out he was already attending school of mines
Even I skipped a grade and I'm a fucking loser on 4chan. Skipping grades didn't mean shit other than losing all your friends.
I reversed a couple of games and developed multiplayer mods for them at 18. What's your excuse?
>>51843876
I have big goals and I make programs that aren't banal and rudimentary.
>>51843887
Oh wow, incredible, so he's a few years more developed than people his age? That's so unique!
>>51844022
yeah idiot.
his big goals are industrial software. which is what he's accomplishing at 16.
his fucking hobbie is making toy apps for fun.
you fucking retard.
>>51843541
speak for yourself, retard.
I planned to read a book today.
8 hours later, still shitposting.
>>51844121
this desu.
the fucking internet is what stops me from learning.
ironically i need the internet to help me learn progrmming.
but when i cut off the internet for 3 days my challenge i actually learned a bit of python which i have now forgotten. because as soon as internet went up my hours of practicing and writing code.............. went down......................
>>51843818
>>51843784
>super genius
>these apps
>>51844092
I'm going to need a source on that.
>>51844167
leechblock can do whitelists, block * and add things back in that make you productive with +*.productivewebsite.*
These are the sorts of people that I actually feel sorry for. They were encouraged from such a young age to be a machine, the world lauds them for being that, and that's all they'll ever be. He will become some manager's monkey boy where he tells him to do things and he does them because he doesn't have the social maturity to say no or realize that he's being taken advantage of. I wonder if he is self aware enough so that he realizes how one dimensional he is.
>>51843129

When did my /g/ succumb to normies?

what are YOU doing again?
>>51843818
>keep track of your insulator collection!
>>51843562
Because Angry Birds, Clash of Clans and that shit is complex to play. Wake up.
>>51844313
Robotics research at a NASA contractor. What are you doing?
>>51844313
if he's such a genius, why did he go to colorado school of fucking mines?
>>51844327
I still find it hard to believe that there are people watching clash of clans in twitch consistently
>>51844336
need source on that
>>51844346
he's definitely intelligent none of you neckbeard fucks can take that fact away. genius? maybe. maybe not either way he's doing well above 90% of the population so i'd say just about if not close to genius.
>>51844313
Working a comfortable job in a third world country.
How about you?
>>51844395
well 90% of the population can't even code, let alone do it well, so....
>>51844391
Your life consists of seeing Twitch. OMG
>>51844346
Mining is lucrative
>>51844395
lol let me just compromise my comfortable job by posting my identify on an anime imageboard for some madposter who can't even put a sentence together.
>>51843129
Asperger and ADD
>>51844455
thats what i thought you lying faggot.
he has no problem making his professional life public. even on a chinese imageboard. faggot.
>>51844516
Calm down Santiago.
>>51844516
I don't think he did it. He's just too naive to know any better.
Also beginning to sound a lot like Nef....
>>51844559
who the fuck is nef.
>>51844202
>leechblock
For chrome, there's also stayfocusd
>>51844578
I weep for /g/
He's 16 and is graduating from one of the most prestigious universities in the world. The fact that people are dismissing him because his parents got him started with programming and because he made some simple iOS apps is disgusting. What the fuck have you done lately?
Yes, I'm mad.
>>51843129
who cares, programming is for retards anyways.
>>51844635
Colorado Schools of Mines is not one of the most prestigious universities in the world
>>51844313
santiago... my boy, when are you going to get laid? LMAO XD
>>51844666
He's in MIT now.
This nigga
>>51844395
Nobody said he wasn't intelligent, just that he's obviously not some kind of super genius because his parents taught him to code at an early age.
Being able to program shit is hardly that impressive when you're taught to do that by people who do it for a living. It would be considerably more impressive if he had self taught, but he didn't self-teach himself, his parents who both have university level educations taught him to do that.
So in short:
>Got a head start on most people trough his parents, who both make a living programming shit, teaching him to program
>Only thing he's so far proven that he's not retarded
>>51844635
We're more laughing at the fact that he's being called a genius by people like you who think academic institution is everything.
>>51844705
He'll be a trap in a couple of years
>>51844702
MIT is basically a school for c.ucks at this point, I remember even in like 2013 they were posting fucking meme faggotry on their homepage and fawning over SJWs
>>51844739
I was thinking the same thing, I mean he's already following Brianna Wu on twitter
>>51844713
exactly, he's not a genius like how software engineering isn't really engineering. It's just bullshit people fell for.
>>51844635
You're both going to be dead very soon and history will not remember either of you because history is itself a mutable construct which won't last another 1000 years
Stop being such a faggot
>>51844635
You're basically just pissed off because people aren't all getting on the "Oh my god, he's a friggin genius"-bandwagon...
Seriously thou, with that kind of head start on the vast majority of people in tech and the kind of hype he got, it would be a sign of stupidity if he wasn't where he is right now.
In short:
>Normal kid who got a head start because of his parents
>Hasn't proven that he's a genius, just that he's privileged
Say mad
>>51843791
I am not that guy but I am in the same boat. I don't know anything about the mobile platform so I don't make apps for it. I still write desktop programs and addons for web browsers though.
>>51844716

ITT jelly neckbeards.
>>51843791
iOS SDK also comes with an iPhone/iPad/iPod emulator
Just saying...
>>51844844
Those posts are funny in the context of him being called a genius, your posts are just letting everyone know how insulted you are.
No one cares.
>>51844852
>People see trough the "Oh my god he's a GENIUS"-bullshit because they know from experience that programming basic stuff isn't even hard and this kid had two adults with university educations helping him learn
>Means they must be "jelly neckbeards"
Right... Keep projecting
>>51844903
>he doesn't fit my autism spectrum!!
>>51844852
I am not really jelly. There is already a shitload of tech guys out there. If the general public thinks this is advanced and difficult its better for me. I don't really want to compete with a million douche bags trying to make a quick buck.
So what when I was 16 we didn't even have apps.
>>51844167
Stop whining.
>It's all because of the internet! Oh woe is me
It's not like the internet is an actual physical entity forcefeeding you memes and punching you in the face for trying to program. Either block 90% of the shit you watch or just, you know, learn some fucking self-restraint.
With the attitude you're having now, you're not any better than SJWs and their constant attention whoring
>Oh woe is me, it's the internet/patriarchy why I'm stupid/motherfucking obese, please just pity me
Our white 9 year olds shit on this guy and don't make ridiculous claims like 'I dream in code'
https://www.youtube.com/user/themisterpygameguy
>>51844923
>Lose the argument
>"Oh I know... I'M GOING TO USE THE AUTISM MEME!!!1 THAT'LL SURE SHOW HIM"
Please go back to reddit or wherever you came from... We know from personal experience that all his achievements aren't really all that impressive when you know his actual background.
The fact that he's not a genius doesn't mean that he's stupid. All he's proven is that he's a privileged normal kid.
>>51844944
It's not like he's going to news publications and getting videos like "24-year-old Loser Shitposter Dreams In Memes" made about him.
>>51843129
I'm not a cunt.
>>51845025
I don't see how that makes him less of a faggot.
>>51844992
>We know from personal experience that all his achievements aren't really all that impressive
Yes they are. Stay jelly that he doesn't fit your autistic fizzbuzz standards ;)
>>51844578
>he doesn't know nef
>>51844705
>Feminist
>nerd
I'm triggered.
>>51845196
Uh, pretty sure you're the one with the low standards if you think a genius wastes his time making checkers and solitaire games.
What's with people thinking you need to be a genius to call other people not geniuses anyways? I don't need an IQ of 140 to tell me that Bo Diddley and Tom Cruise aren't geniuses.
Let me just posit that Hitler was a good person. Show me your humanitarian achievements before you argue with me.
