I don’t really know how to describe him. I guess Casey is proof that one can be skilled in programming, but still have a fundamental lack of understanding in software engineering.

This is just so wrong. He’s too nostalgic of the Amiga days.

First, he has no concrete proof that many lines of code is bad. He’s just saying “I feel like things are worse now and here’s a graph that correlates with my feelings”.

And then he shows a graph of the number of lines in the Linux kernel. Yeah, Linux grew in size mid 90s because that was when people wanted to make it work on computers other than Torvald’s own!

Secondly, no one wants to plug in an USB and grant whatever is in it full machine access. It’s a major security concern, and people want multitasking. What if I want to listen to Spotify while I play my game?

The USB thing is likely not going to work either way because it can’t take into account for all possible configurations. Too bad, this program doesn’t recognize your specific WiFi card. You have to survive without internet.

Unless someone manages to perfectly standardize everything that can possibly happen in a computer. That ain’t going to happen.

The point of the movie is that suppressing sadness is a bad thing

True, but I like Transformers so it’s ok

Death Stranding 2 looks good!

I’m sure most kids know about Skibidi Toilet, the Paul brothers and Mr Beast.

What’s worse, is that the Paul brothers and Mr Beast use their influence to promote products directly to the children. Like Prime.

I don’t remember this scene from Tenet

Up/down votes should be used more as “I think this comment has a positive/negative contribution to the conversation”.

You’re a big function

Spider-Man didn’t have that prep time in the comic.

This was a setup by Dr Octopus and Lex Luthor to distract them while they’re working on their evil plans together. Spider-Man didn’t know of Superman before the fight.

I believe this is some crossover comic where Spider-Man and Superman face each other. The entire fight Superman was holding back. At the end of the fight he realizes Spider-Man is actually a good guy, so he decides to stop the fight by standing still taking punches from him until he gives up. Long time ago I read it.

Just some lazy writing to accommodate that Superman is too OP for this kind of crossover.

Math skills can occasionally be useful, but I don’t see it as a dealbreaker.

The good thing about being good with math is that it usually means you’re a good problem solver, and problem solving is an important skill for programming. But the reverse isn’t necessarily true. You can be good at problem solving but still be bad at math.

I would say if you’re struggling with the programming courses, then maybe look somewhere else. Otherwise, go ahead.

They would see nothing wrong with it

Grammar is too woke

It’s a small price to pay to keep pronouns away from our games.

Python is truly a mess when Docker is considered a solution.

Nothing comes close to Perl’s abuse of global variables. Oh you called this function? Take a guess which global variables it will use.

I don’t trust you. There must be some hidden meaning.

Do you know why?

TAOCP is a misleading title. It shouldn’t be computer programming. It should be computer science.

For most people, programming is the engineering discipline. I think that’s a very different art form. Software engineers are rarely dealing with the type of problems TAOCP is concerned about.
