This is an excellent answer. The original post, insinuating that engineers are demonstrating "engineering mediocrity" or not "correct," is lazy for not understanding why this problem is ill-defined.
- horsawlarway 5y agoAbsolutely. The irony is that his title is correct - Boring problems need attention. But the content is jarringly wrong - The lack of attention didn't lie with the engineers of these companies, but with the author themselves. For ~1600 words, they could have very easily tried to count it and quickly realized that the answers they got weren't wrong - the question was lazy and lacking attention. Do you mean dictionary words? Compound words? Whitespace separated tokens? What about stand alone text that isn't a word (ex - page numbers? Title numbers?) Words that the author invented? Words use non-traditional-spacing or grammar?(and maybe a missing space) ---- But nope, it's those damn lazy engineers!
