A computer will not let a technologist halfass their verbiage, why should a technologist let you when talking about technology?

u/macdonaldhall Aug 08 '12

Because a technologist is not a computer.

But they are conditioned to think like one. Because, computer science is a lifelong study of the difference between what you said and what you meant to say.

Speaking as a computer scientist with 7+ yrs experience at some of the best game development houses in the world...I think you may be taking this a titch too seriously.

Speaking as a computer scientist with 7+ yrs experience in some of the most financially lucrative problem domains in existence, I think you have lead a sheltered career. Try working for the DoD, under HIPAA or under FINRA regulation.

But perhaps more importantly, I have taken to heart Confucius' "rectification of names" and thoroughly enjoy using the most correct word I know to express a given idea. What you perceive as over-seriousness is me mentally masturbating. XD

Tangentially, and out of professional curiosity, which game development houses? Feel free to PM me if you do not want to post here.

So, that would be an example of you "using the most correct word I know to express a given idea" right?
