Do Your Homework in Python
- brownbat 13y agoI'm glad I practiced mathematics and writing and read lit and history in school. I learned a lot of great supplementary things during that time fueled by my curiosity, but without the sort of mediocre communal baseline, I might have just spent all of my time listening to the full catalogs of obscure punk labels and mastering ideal StarCraft strategies. Fun times, of course, but it's nice to pepper that with some traits and knowledges society might need too. Some homework is a waste of time. Other parts of it are just repeated application of principles that require drilling for deep concepts to really hit home. When you're a student faced with the work, it's unlikely you will be able to reliably tell the difference, in order to pythonize the bad and practice the good.
- dasmithii 13y agoAs much as I agree that students including myself are more likely to misjudge these situations than more experienced products of academia, the thought of admitting to inevitably bad decisions makes me cringe. If myself and others in similar circumstance yield our own inspirations in favor of others' wise words, we'll be throwing passion and ambition to the ground. Although I accept that students are statistically better off under advice of elders, I purposely ignore the fact, assuring myself of my own self-motivation and curiosity. Thank you for the reply. I really do appreciate your honest comments.
