It may be because programmers are often also attracted to mathematics, and so they think everything in programming must be very carefully defined, and everything must follow from axioms. In reality, programming has a lot more in common with a practical skill like carpentry - you use the best tools & methods available depending on the product you're trying to make.
- edgyquant 4y agoFunny you chose carpentry which is very much a field where everything must be mathematically tested and proofed.
- silent_cal 4y agoYou use a bit of math in carpentry, but carpentry itself is not like mathematics. There's no deductive proof of the best way to make a chair out of oak.
