- tptacek 10y agoMathematics is so thematically similar to CS that it used to house the CS departments. Please don't waste your time trying to conjure an argument about how CS somehow requires a different kind of brain than mathematics.
- douche 10y agoIn theory, CS is a cousin of mathematics, but in practice? Mathematics has almost nothing to do with the ordinary day-to-day code slinging and Agile bullshittery that software engineering has devolved into.
- rimliu 10y agoI am not talking about different kind of brains. I am talking that maybe day to day work is quite different. I have no idea, what does mathematician's day look like, but I guess they don't have scope creep, arbitrary deadlines, bug reports from users and crunch times.
