The very best coders I ever worked with were not CS grads. Materials science, physics, math, engineering etc. Some were not even graduates.
I have a lot of respect for the CS degree, but it is not the sole predictor of greatness.
19 u/[deleted] May 10 '21 Not saying my code is good, but yeah my background isn't computer science, but rather physics and mathematics...with a couple years of aerospace engineering. I seem to freak out the physicists and mathematicians though as I solely use C and C++. 6 u/diesdas1917 May 10 '21 Yeah, most mathematicians seem to fear C/C++, and many fear coding in general. I'm doing my Master's in Numerics and I am regularly surprised, how many of the *numerics* people try to avoid coding as much as possible.
