The post basically read like a summary of the first class in my accounting degree. I would be very surprised if the average software engineer has less tolerance for abstraction than the average accountant.
Debits and credits are the foundation on which all of accounting is built. I don't see why you would start anywhere else.
- calpaterson 11y agoWhen you consider how many people leave "Accounting 101" classes without really understanding anything the traditional way starts to look quite bad

- throwaway_97 11y agoI too depised these things when I took accountancy in school but by the second year I had accepted their value and now cannot see how else it could have been better. Debit/Credit is the foundation of double entry. Most people think accountancy = bookkeeping. They dont get Double entry system. It's understandable, it took me a considerable time to grasp it.
