- godelski 1y agoWell a lot of people did wildly misunderstand the Poincare quote. To me is is obviously about abstraction and I think this is true for any mathematician. I thought it would also be natural for programmers considering we use "object" quite similarly, if not identically. So... maybe it is or maybe this is the joke.
