fire is going to lose

tell him that teaching yourself programming is better than any schooling once you get past the basics Kappa

in his defense, waterloo's best program is cs

software engineering is the important stuff that isn't necessarily straight forward

you get to learn how to organize teams of programmers

SE is the other good program at waterloo

they are very similar

i focused in software engineering but everything i do is closer to cs

(and self taught 😛 )

oh yeah that python humble bundle is still going

tell him if he wants help with coding etc. he's welcome back

k

and hating CS is a meme

CS is an important major, who else will get more important people coffee at google?

the interns

fair

so many people go into coding because its in demand and pays well

so many people do not think the right way for programming

so many incompetents graduate with CS majors

@Dan K. Meme we have to meet up when I visit my dad over the summer so we can beat pika to the first meet up

oof

or i could drive to canada randomly

my old roomate is one of those incompotens leg

if you can't wrap your head around CS 1 you should change majors full stop

Taking all bets, am I a better cs student than most cs students with my limited python knowledge Kappa

probably

I agree with that pika

you answered fizz buzz correctly

>me agreeing with pika

what is this

I mean, coding is just logically structured problem solving

Probably would make cs majors better if you forced them to do either some rigorous math, or some physics before they continue

yes and a lot of people do not have their brains wired in a way to effectively do it

would weed out the bad ones

they have to take physics here

is it real physics though

or 'memorize this equation, apply it' physics?

do you mean lab based?

/shrug

No

yeah?

we did labs

sometimes?

I mean physics where you are taught the concepts and you are expected to extend the theory to solve problems

oh you mean poorly taught classes? Keepo

versus being taught how to solve basic problems, then being asked to solve the same problems with different numbers

yeah basically that

/shrug

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the best part of my degree is i know how computers work at an atomic level tfsMP
