gollark: I see.
gollark: Filtering for programmers is one thing, but filtering out "simps" seems rather orthogonal.
gollark: Maybe you should be clearer about what you're actually trying to filter? And have separate things for each criterion?EDIT: and explicitly making a high-effort filter is possibly not good as it may drive away people who are busy who you'd otherwise like, although if it's just "compile some C" it's probably fine.
gollark: I should reuse and actually finish the thing I was going to port my "IQ test" to.
gollark: What an *excellent* idea.
