- dsacco 10y agoSure, but I don't think a good faith interpretation of the title would require that sort of disclaimer, and look at the rest of the thread that resulted.
- rattray 10y agoI hadn't heard of "competitive programming" before, and at first assumed this was a post exactly about "getting a better job or a better salary" (the most likely alternative interpretation). So I was grateful for the clarification, and didn't take it as algorithm-hate.
