When I Grew up I Ended up Being a Writer
- mbesto 15y ago100%. I think a lot of us techies did great on the math section of the ACT/SAT and very poorly on the writing/english section. (not that any of that really matters) I spend a majority of my time writing now. Why? Because it's the most efficient way to "spread the word". In the times of a meritocratic information tech culture, documentation is king. It's tangible, it's reproducible and can be easily transferred throughout generations. edit: grammar :)
- kiba 15y agoI did somewhat poorly on math, but I got near perfect score on writing exams. It was ironic since I sucks at grammar. Maybe sometime when I am highly focused, I make less mistake. In any case, I did not put much value on my high school math because they don't teach me how to think in mathematics and do rigorous proof. It's one thing to know formula and steps of how to do something, it's entirely another to think math as if it were another language or something to discover.
