- sanderjd 10y agoThe hard part isn't building the parser, the hard part is recognizing that a parser would be a good solution to the problem and distilling the problem into a form for which the solution works. One of the main purposes of a college degree is to come out knowing a lot about what you don't know. That is, knowing a lot about what sorts of things exist, even if you don't know much detail about any of those things.
