    Wish granted, goes on to create yet another “better” programming language.

    btw, OP forgot “understanding”, which is the harder part.

      Good point. Maybe that’s why they clarified “all knowledge in data structures and ml and ai” in the end.

      Then again, just because you have all puzzle pieces (and a few extra) it does not mean you can solve it.

    I don’t understand, isn’t it what is required for junior positions these days, every manager would tell you that they also required soft skills. His wish won’t even land him a job.

    Instantly granted all programming knowledge

    “Well what the… God damnit! Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? Fucking JavaScript architects!”

      My gods. I think this just gave me flashbacks to this week.

      I was recently battling node’s import/require shenanigans trying to figure out how to import a typescript module in my basic program. I feel this so hard.

      I walked away utterly hating the language and its ecosystem. Utterly defeated, I gave up.

    Why limit yourself like that? Just say “All languages”. Depending on how liberally you interpret the word “language”, you know know just about everything.

      Fuck programming then, I’ll go read ancient Egyptian or some not-yet-deciphered crap. On the other hand, I bet it’s not that different from APL

    If I was at any moment perfectly aware of every minute detail of every programming related topic, and could also apply it perfectly, I honestly think I’d get incredibly stressed and depressed. Stressed from all the billions of projects that I could improve, and would kinda feel the obligation to improve. And depressed because the whole reason I like programming is the learning part. Almost every project I start will end at the point where I learnt the most significant new stuff and it comes down to doing things that I know how to do. It’d ruin my primary hobby (and job) for me, which probably wouldn’t result in me being very happy.

      Don’t wish for knowledge, wish for wisdom. Of course then you will just realize that you should have just wished to be lucky.

    I’m used to non-software managers thinking knowing a language is knowing how to make software systems, but other programmers? It’s like saying if you know every language now you’re a novelist. Knowing the language is just a basic necessary fundamental from which you can start to learn how to design and create software.

    My head canon is that Tony Stark has a superpower: everything he builds works the first time.

    If it’s really complicated, like an entirely new Iron Man suit, then it might malfunction once in an amusing way. Then he tightens a screw and it’s perfect. It never fails outright or bricks itself.

    In my experience, this is not how hardware or software development goes. I want this power so much.

    I’d just wish to not be in Hell talking to Satan… I mean, literally anywhere else talking to literally anyone else is by definititon a better situation to be in.

    To all contradictory replies, I said NOT be in Hell.
