I wouldn't except consumer software like Docker or Lambda to have any measurable impact on computer science. How much is the landscape of astronomy shaped by advancements in home telescopes?

- neuroticfish 7y agoComputer science isn't a nascent field, and comparing the discoveries of individuals centuries ago to the collective academic pipeline of today is silly.
- theli0nheart 7y ago> Computer science isn't a nascent field That's like, just your opinion. But, in all seriousness, do you really think CS is a mature field? We've barely scratched the surface of what is possible with quantum computers, and once that ball gets rolling, who knows what happens next. I would happily put money on the fact that the majority of breakthroughs in computer science have yet to come. > comparing the discoveries of individuals centuries ago to the collective academic pipeline of today is silly Why would you say that? In the 1500-1800s, most serious and important discoveries were generated by individuals (most who funded themselves).
