I wonder if this is how non-programmers feel reading Stack Overflow.
- mturmon 16y agoThat would be symmetric, but no, it's not the case. Most of the SO questions are of a more naive character. ("I got this error message, what do I do?")
- pjscott 16y agoNon-programmers know that they're not supposed to understand programming. People who've taken a reasonable number of math classes tend to feel like they should know more than a tiny fraction of the math that's out there, even if this expectation is unreasonable.
- plorkyeran 16y agoI know I found it pretty depressing the first time I realized that after taking fourteen or so years of math classes I'd never really made it past Advanced Arithmetic.
