What language does she prefer? Does she prefer complexity or simplicity? Is her code verbose or terse? So many questions.
Does any of this matter? If you're into coding, then the answer is "Yes", in my opinion. In fact, when it comes to software, I really do not care about what the coder looks like, what clothes the coder wears, the coder's personality type, etc. In evaluating software, these things are all irrelevant to me. I only care about the coder's code sensibilities and tastes, and the quality of the code.
Anyway, can we see any code samples to back up her statement? I will believe it when I see the evidence.
No matter what he says or does in real life, and even if he wears cheap suits and ugly ties, I will always have an appreciation of one well-known, former CEO as a coder. Because lex is one of my favorite programs.
