- Retric 17y agoThanks for the link I found: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=429043 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=429043 to be an interesting take. I have zero intrest in Music and don't link CS with Math. While I was well above average in math, relative to the average person, I am a far better programmer and consider it a compleatly seperate toppic. PS: My college DiffEQ teacher got annoyed when I said I had little intrest in getting a masters in Math. I wonder how many programmers have the talent, but lack the intrest.
- menloparkbum 17y agoThe Knuth comment was very interesting. I majored in Math and everyone in the math department played some sort of instrument, even if it was the stereotypical "nerdy kid forced to play the violin". Since I left school and been in industry I'd say maybe 1 in 50 I meet play an instrument. However, probably 4/5 of programmers I meet are bicyclists, or at least at own an overpriced bike.
