Re: So Physics?
[quote name="Ray, of Light"][quote name="Anonymous"][quote name="Chairman Mao"]There is only so much technique that can be taught. Beyond fundamentals classes everything becomes visual literacy and aesthetic theory; ya know, actual *thinking* stuff. My professors failed people who thought they were too good for that. Those of us who did pass became vicious with clownshoes fucks who would pass off the "cause it looked cool" bit. [/quote] I would have thought that molecular biology would leverage your backgound better. Not that it matters what I think. I better go write some more poetry now.[/quote] Scientific fields aren't free of that. "Programming is all about <i>style</i>; why should my inspired ass have to learn when and where a linked list is vaguely appropriate?" It's entirely possible to complete (say) a CS degree program without knowing jack-shit about the nuts and bolts of the field. Your co-workers or end-users can then rejoice in the results of your technically bankrupt and brain-damaged inspiration. Ray![/quote]
