With all due respect to Alan Perlis, he seems to have mixed up Computer Science with Software Engineering. Those are different things. There is generally somewhat less room for fun in engineering disciplines (although not zero).
- dartos 2y agoI’d argue that software engineering doesn’t normally have the same rigor that say structural engineering has. Every structure has the potential to kill the inhabitants, but all software does not have the potential to kill its users. The stakes are very different. There’s definitely room for fun as a software engineer working in most companies.
