- eighthnate 9y agoHuh? I'm not butthurt. Seems like you are though. I'm sorry having standards and expectations is something that offends so many people. C isn't a "difficult" language. It's something any CS major should have an understanding of. I can't believe on hackernews, I'd get attacked for saying people should learn C. Nevermind that most OSes and most languages themselves are written in C. Even python interpreters are written in C. Since when is saying people should learn C for a CS degree considered being "butthurt"? What's next? Saying people should learn latin/ancient greek for a liberal arts degree is considered being butthurt?
- B1narySunset 9y agoYou're being attacked because of your condescending tone implying that music and english majors aren't smart enough to pass the CS curriculum
- grzm 9y agoYou're being attacked Regardless of how much you may disagree with what someone said or how they said it, attacking them for it (even verbally) is not an appropriate response. It only contributes to worsening the discourse. If you can't find a way to disagree or express an opinion constructively, it's better to refrain from commenting at all.
