- DrDroop 3y agoSometimes you find the truth at the bottom of HN. It hurts, I spend my early adulthood trying to learning most of the topics on this page thinking it would make me a great software engineer. These are good ideas, but I wouldn't call them great, they are often very dull and don't make one a great thinker.
- bo1024 3y agoNot really on the topic of this link at all. But I wouldn't be surprised, since you're likely comparing the few physicists and philosophers who switch fields against the average computer scientist.
