this article had a completely opposite point, there was no disregard for computing, he specifically says he loves what can be done with modern computing.
the ignorance stated was trying to bring up a point that I fully agree with, a lot of us dont actually care about the computer, I dont program because I like typing out arbitrarily defined syntax, I dont learn algorithms because they are "fun" I build applications that work on the computer because I want people to use them, I want to build tools that help peoples lives or help them do their jobs
- wladimir 15y agoI was not specifically talking about the case of the article. And I did mention your case in my post; you might not care about the back end (algorithms, bit/byte pushing, compilers, etc) but it is important anyway. Your pretty UIs for helping people in their lives (I don't mean to discount that -- it's really important) won't go anywhere without the infrastructure. Everyone has their preferred area, and the fields together are important. We could just as well stop boasting how our work was somehow better so we can be proud we don't care about someone elses work...
