seunthomas: No I can't name one side project from bill Gates. But I can name one software that he designed and coded and has faced rigorous critiques. In case you don't know, it's called Microsoft Windows. Oh and also he built Microsoft office. Now name one software you have done that has been widely critiqued. Script kiddie comparing himself to Bill Gates. M0r.0|\| |

You are smarter than us all,combined. Satisfied? But dont ever spew that crap you said about recursion and native loops and try to pass it off like its gospel truth. 1 Like |

airsaylongcon:Here you go again. Mr bill gates never created or coded microsoft windows, he was only part of the technical team that worked on a later version of what we now call windows. So i think you are the mor.on |

asalimpo: He can't be on a software engineering team. This kind one that thinks of himself as the be-all and end all. Thinking "I" when a team is "we". Been watching him run his mouth like an anus with diarrhoea 3 Likes 1 Share |

asalimpo:@asalimpo I assume you are young and possibly late teens/adulthood. I will speak to you as someone probably older and more experienced. If you will ever achieve anything of your miserable life, you need to listen more and talk less. I did that and right now i have more information that people like you and dhtml18(who by the way felt like he was the best programmer around). I have never clamoured to be the best or wisest programmer around(no yardstick if you get the drift). I just clamoured to be very good at what i do, and trust me I am very good at programming... So learn from me. But i know your type you wont learn, its a lost case. Shaking my head profusely..... |

airsaylongcon:Well in the late 90's when i was getting my first take into the world of programming, i read that from a book ohhh. I dont know ohh. Its very possible that both I and the renowned author may be Ekpa like you say.... |

airsaylongcon:The point is clear, i am actually educating you guys and removing misconceptions. I am sure by the time we get to the 8th page of this thread, some new facts may have been learnt. Mind you am a core team player. I only do solo when the task demands it. |

seunthomas:Someone should please lend this guy sense na! The more talk, the more you expose how fooli*** and childish you are. Piece of advice: get a life if elsewhere if you can't cope in programming. |
Re: The Greatest Programmer On Nairaland by airsaylongcon: 2:52pm On Feb 25, 2016 |
seunthomas: In the first five years, Gates personally reviewed every line of code the company shipped, and often rewrote parts of it as he saw fit. Reference: Wikipedia. |
Re: The Greatest Programmer On Nairaland by seunthomas: 2:56pm On Feb 25, 2016 |
airsaylongcon:Wikipedia is wrong(User generated content), no one can "personally review"(Dont believe everything you read on line) windows even from ms-dos. Thats millions of lines of code. Bill gate's role in microsoft as been more or less chief architect from the 80's. That means he just shapes the direction the company heads in. |
Re: The Greatest Programmer On Nairaland by seunthomas: 2:57pm On Feb 25, 2016 |
maekhel:You can do that na. Lend me some sense but from someone smarter than you. |
Re: The Greatest Programmer On Nairaland by airsaylongcon: 3:07pm On Feb 25, 2016 |
seunthomas: Your penultimate sentence was pinched and rephrased from Wikipedia. Here it is Gates's role at Microsoft for most of its history was primarily a management and executive role. However, he was an active software developer in the early years, particularly on the company's programming language products. He has not officially been on a development team since working on the TRS-80 Model 100,[63] but wrote code as late as 1989 that shipped in the company's products.[61] Points of note: He was an active software developer in the early years. This means he actively took part in developing Windows as Windows was developed in the early years of Microsoft Corporation. ... but wrote code as late as 1989 that shipped in the company's products. So as late as 89 he was still coding. Bottom line, he partook in actually coding Windows as opposed to your earlier allegation that he didn't. So back to the point, I know of at least one software Bill Gates coded that is publicly available for critiques. Is there any software from you (Even if it's just a "Hello World" piece of code) that is publicly available for scrutiny? Cos you are the one that asked me if there's any project from Bill Gates available |

airsaylongcon:irony of the matter is am not checking wikipedia. I already know this things by heart. Kind of the Holy grail of programmers. Shaking my head for you bro. I have not done anything no code at all self. Infact i dont know how to program. Someone who is destined to swallow the bitter pill will do it no matter the prevent mechanisms put in place. Enjoy your pill. |
Re: The Greatest Programmer On Nairaland by airsaylongcon: 3:39pm On Feb 25, 2016 |
seunthomas: Fortunately the bitter pill has been swallowed by you. At least in your own words you have admitted that "I have not done anything no code at all self. Infact i dont know how to program. That's all that was needed. A confession that you don't code. Now I can leave you alone |

seunthomas: you just yap for yapping sake. Dyu stop in your rant to think of what you say? You challenge dhtml to a fight. Insult those who step in. Spew technical crap, when busted, you resort to name calling and diversionary tactics. You challenge opposers to a coding duel but now you're saying that you don't consider yourself to be the best bla bla. You're bloated with the fart off pride. You say learn of me, what really is there in all your post to learn from? Tell me? Even if some1 took up your challenge what code will you write in 1 hour that will showcase the breadth of your prowess? Dyu really think? 3 Likes |

If this procedure is guaranteed to terminate, then which of the following is not true. a) CallBack has a local variable b) CallBack has an path of execution where it is not recursive (doesn't call itself) C) CallBack refers to a global variable or has one or more parameters Time starts now I |

airsaylongcon:#busted @OP, even with all your rantings, you have exposed yourself to the whole world that you are a fake. And despite coding since 1998, you have no available side projects - other than rants (and some copy and paste stuffs). No github account too for that matter? odikwa serious. |
Re: The Greatest Programmer On Nairaland by Nobody: 5:35pm On Feb 25, 2016 |
seunthomas: First sensible thing coming out of your mouth since. Bill Gates programmed the MS word himself, with his hands.. Before later agreeing with Steve Jobs to examing his own windows based apple system which was still prototyped, Gates went on and "stole the invention" by adding it to the Microsoft operating system (which he bought from someone) and sold to IBM. In summary, Mr A had a little OS, Mr B knew IBM needed an OS to buy, Mr C had the windows prototype on Apple first. Mr B bought Mr A's little OS and added Mr C's prototype then sold it to IBM..more of a partnership with IBM. Gates did this because he needed an operating system to run MS word on, he went to Jobs, who did business and allowed it run on Apple. He bought an OS from a guy called it MSDOS and when he stole Job's 'windows' prototype (the ability to open one or more sub screens on an os) , Gates went ahead to rename the next version to Microsoft Windows and made a lot of cash which Job should have made. This caused their early rivalry back then. |
Re: The Greatest Programmer On Nairaland by FincoApps(m): 5:39pm On Feb 25, 2016 |
seunthomas, judging from some of your posts, you apparently have some experience, just that no single thing to show for it. It is understandable that against all odds, you have been on one company project to another ever since you started programming so therefore no time to do any personal thing. Well let me give you a task so you can at least have 1 open source project. 1. Write a script that sends a broadcast message to all facebook friends (I did it sometime ago but I had issues broadcasting links so if you can solve this, I would really appretiate) 2. Use MiniMax algorithm to make the AI of my Tic Tac Toe game unbeatable. (This is my real problem, I must confess, MiniMax Algorithm alone is tough enough. Then considering Alpha Beta prunin.... I just need external help). This is also open to other programmers including dhtml. I'll put the game on GitHub and share the link |

airsaylongcon: You have to take it easy on him. He probably only knows python and some php. And that he probably learnt from youtube videos rather than books (books delve into theory). This kind of question would be too 'sciency' for him. Don't mind his yapping about coding since '98. |
