The gate keeping of all that calculus for a CS degree is silly. Wasn’t the strongest at math, so grinned and bared but don’t really have a grasp of it anymore,

The gate keeping of all that calculus for a CS degree is silly. Wasn’t the strongest at math, so grinned and bared but don’t really have a grasp of it anymore, and it would have been a shame to not have graduated with a CS degree because of it.

  Same. And now I’m 15 years into my software engineering career and the only regret I have is that I didn’t spend more time with linear algebra.

    I know right - that was the fun kind of math.

In Sweden it was a heritage from Ericsson. They needed/need engineers who knew that stuff. Supposedly. I should have picked something with less EE even though I also loved electronics. It seems much better these days.

It's "grin and bear", as in grinning while bearing the load. The past tense would be "grinned and bore". FYI.
