Considering 90% of “programming” as a trade, especially as it pertains to this audience, is basically gluing Excel sheets together or figuring out more clever ways to extract capital from consumers...

I would like to see a compiler/PL expert or a ML expert take on extending our knowledge of quantum mechanics or cosmology, though, since they’re apparently better at solving analytical problems than everyone else. Maybe Bryan Cantrill or Theo de Raadt can go team up with Stephen Hawking and we can finally explain dark matter conclusively. Programmers were all that was missing, it seems like.
