What constitutes being smart as far as computer usage is concerned?

Is it enough to know ASP, SQL, PHP, X/HTML, CSS, Javascript, Flash/Actionscript, PhotoshopIllustratorQuark, Premier, AfterEffects and have artistic skill in and knowledge of print, web and motion graphics design?

Or does one need to creating applications to be considered smart? Because I bet a software developer would look like a fuckin' dumbass pitching ad concepts to Nike.

You need to know all of those things, including ad pitching.

All the best people have bad lungs and brittle bones. It's all frightfully romantic.

I use a Mac at home. I hate tcsh so I avoid the command line whenever possible. I tried to get a bunch of packages using fink but my gcc compiler links are broken and I can't be bothered to fix them. I have a liberal arts degree, like seriously, my degree says "liberal arts," no "history" or "linguistics" attached at all. I've never bothered to install SoulSeek or BitTorrent clients on my box and I pay for all my software and music.

My name is TOMBOT and I work in the IT security industry making $80,600 a year.

Heh. How dumb are bash users?

kenan, Thursday, 17 April 2008 21:46 (sixteen years ago) link

My antipathy toward bash is kinda like my antipathy toward Linux: Folks who encounter a non-bash shell or a non-Linux unix seem to ask the following question early and often: Well, why doesn't this work just like bash/Linux???

It's like discovering alternative music and then being shocked that some guy with a velvet jacket and orange hair hates the Smiths.

The mac store looks like purgatory. Micro-organisms die in it, it's so clean.
Unix users are asexual.
