Check your assumptions. What if someone is not working as a programmer, not working in academia and not sharing programs with others, except in HN comments/submissions. There was a story that appeared on HN many years ago and I wish I could find it again. It described a gentleman in Japan who did not work in the computer industry but did some sort of (let's call it) "optimisation work" on his own as a hobby. The story told that the work was being used by companies within the computer industry, I think it was hardware manufacturers. If I recall correctly he did not have any formalised education in computer science or mathematics. I am probably getting some details wrong; need to find this story again. |
