What does one’s ability to mine coal, say about one’s ability to write code? What’s the correlation?

Actuaries are as bright a group as i’ve ever encountered. So are doctors. That doesn’t mean that good actuaries make good doctors. And that’s not an insult to
anyone. Some jobs are so different, that being good at one, doesn’t predict the ability to be good at another. Many miners might make good programmers, but you can’t tell
that by virtue of the fact that they are miners.

This is really controversial?
