I only speak English and a touch of French. Can some please translate the responses you received so far?

Where is Cassini now?[^]

Kudos to the Cassini team for creating an outstanding piece of equipment.

Even after almost 20 years, I'd rate myself around level 1.5 on this scale.  There's always room for improvement though.

80% of items above level 1 are unnecessary if not completely useless for programming. Who gives a ff about the internal implementation of data structures (platform dependent anyway) or the CPU's microcode architecture.
90% useless if you want to ever be more than a boring spoon fed drone coder for life.
only 2 items actually matter to anyone that wants to get a real high level job (CIO or even more-so self employed) and he got those completely wrong anyway (communications & requirements).

I do. I Have written drivers that write to CPU ports to control it.

When moving data from one patform to another you have to be aware of structure packing and endianness.

Only the people who are working hard to squeeze every last ounce of performance of the CPUs, GPUs, display controllers, storage devices, network adapters, compression algorithms, etc. so that your spouse's car can receive map information from a satellite 13000 miles away, in order to tell them how to get to where they are going, while your kids stream reruns of SpongeBob videos from the comfort of their own home, all while you are at your office, cranking out applications in the most inefficient, crappiest way possible, and still managing to look like a rock star when you deliver your product.

No, those drone coders tend to retire somewhat early and very wealthy, after creating an entire industry that never existed before. And the ones that dont, well, they're still getting paid better than most in the industry.
Incidentally, I would consider myself about a 2.5 on that matrix.

A festering pile of elephant dung. I've been privileged to have worked with some super smart people over the years and I doubt that any of them would rank that highly on this somewhat subjective "look how elephanting smart I am", whatever the elephant it is supposed to be.
The article says a lot more about the author than the matrix would ever say about anyone else. Smug twat.

Was about to post something similar. Well said

For line of business apps, I'd take an average programmer that wasn't full of himself/herself and was great at communicating over an uber one that never left his/her mom's closet and has no idea how to work with people. But hey, that's just experience talking.
