I have heard this was the same reason behind the vast dominance of Russian programmers in the early days of HFT (cf. Michael Lewis' Flash Boys): CS classrooms in late-80's USSR had maybe one computer between them, so you spent a lot of time getting your programs right on paper before it was your turn to use the machine.
- mikestew 8y agoso you spent a lot of time getting your programs right on paper before it was your turn to use the machine. That was called "welcome to CompSci 101!" in the first CS course I took in the early 80s. Submit your card deck, wait your turn for the operator to load the deck, an hour later you get to find out that you made a typo and it didn't compile.
