Have related fields like, say, Mathematics changed a great deal since then?
- jacquesm 4y agoMaybe not, but a lot of programming related stuff is actually regression, usually change for change's sake with a snuff of NIH thrown in for good measure. In math it moves monotonically upwards, slowly but steadily.

- Ma8ee 4y agoNo, but mathematicians don’t come up a new notation every three months that they promise will revolutionise the field.
