Math. Which seems that many practitioners are proud of not knowing
- katbyte 5y agoLogic maybe but a very large amount of software written does not use much if any math beyond the very basics.
- mywittyname 5y agoLots of people in other engineering disciplines don't use math beyond the very basics either. A large amount of parts are designed in CAE software which handles most/all of the mathematics. And in some larger companies, the person designing the part and the person testing the part are on different teams.
- Epa095 5y agoMath provides no answer for a lot of the problems one encounter in day to day software development. It does not help you decide how much test coverage you need,it does not help you decide how to review, it does not help you figure out what features are desired, it does not help you collaborate with the juniors etc etc. I agree that math describes limitation to computer science and formalisation. But software engineering is more than computation.
