I would also be curious as to how you explain that all the most important software in the world today is not built by your amateur hackers but by educated computer scientists. Who made deep mind, the google search engine, Watson, Windows, Unix, Linux, who created C, C++, Java, any possible programming language that you can think of, *including* Python? Computer scientists, that’s who. It is all but impossible to build any of these things without knowing the theory of programming languages, computational complexity, information theory, computability theory, systems theory, queing theory, automata theory and a lot of other theories that for some reason you deem irrelevant (hint: the reason is that you don’t know any of them, and therefore they must not matter. Oh boy).

It must be hard to live with that bad of a cognitive dissonance and inferiority complex..
