I've said it before but the greatest superpower in programming is googling the error message and clicking the stack overflow links. That's a skill worth more than any degree and I wish more people on my team had it instead of asking me and watching me do it in front of them

the school of computing at my university was part of the faculty of engineering. i tell people i know who are real engineers (civil, mechanical etc.) that i'm one too and it makes them really angry

lollin at all the engineering programs that have to put up with cs departments in the same building, they should be confined to the math building where they belong

at my school cs was cloistered off with the psychology department in one building of terribleness

we used to have engineering (actual engineerin) and then informatics (maths and computers and whatnot)

then for some reason they decided to merge a whole bunch of faculties so now it's engineering & information sciences and no one from either side is happy about it


and journalism is in creative arts now apparently lmao
