he could just be a dumb guy what never got a degree though. Although anyone who gets 2 bachelor's is pretty dumb, why would you do that.

rotor posted:smart enough not to waste a bunch of time and money on a second bachelors degree. but you can sometimes get those at the same time or apply like 80% of the credits from one of them to another, seems like that just increases your qualifications and you spend maybe an extra year getting it. i guess for someone who goes back for one like a decade later yeah maybe but it seems like that's probably someone who wasted time and money on their first bachelors degree when they were young dumb and full of cum, then wised up and did something they like more or that is more useful in the second one i mean, right?

It's just that it seems a crapload of people come out with a CS degree and end up being code janitors and never need more math or algorithms than using cross-multiplication and stdlib algorithms, then go 'welp' at their education because 90% of the work is making sure business rules are implemented right, then 5% is politics and 4% is arguing about indentation. The remaining 1% is filling your time sheet. man, why do i even do anything

HORATIO HORNBLOWER posted:if you want to really get english grammar you need a firm grasp of both latin and chomsky imho i think learning latin grammar is a slightly worse guide for learning english grammar than most other foreign languages; you get the normal foreign-language experience of considering grammar in a rigorous way that you almost certainly never did in english class, but there is a unique downside that many teachers of latin grammar have the preposterous notion in their heads that english grammar is a descendant thereof or closely related thereto, leading to the propagation of falsehoods eg. "you shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition" german and dutch grammar are good things to learn and have some bearing on english grammar, being actually related (and thus having more cases/moods/whatever in common), although of course english transitioned from the typical germanic V2 word order to SVO during the late middle english period (except for interrogatives, which still wink at the old V2 order)
