Don't Ruin Programming With Math! by MindHacker9009(m): 5:44pm On Jan 02
All Programming is Math-Based!

Sure, at the core of every computer is math. Really complex math.

But that statement is about as useful as telling a student driver that at the core of every car is an internal combustion engine [complex math]!

“Get in, Johnny!”

“Before you begin your first drive, keep in mind that when you press the gas pedal, you are activating the process of internal combustion.”
[*****1 − ν′M,j −XNi=1ν′ij = 1 − ν′M,13 −ν′1,13 + ν′2,13= 1 − 1 − (2 + 0)*****]

“Internal WHAT?” grin grin grin

True the guy is cashing out and Unis too are cashing out with CS maths, only those going for Phd in CS will find the CS maths useful, but for a programming job only logic is needed.

Having a stable long-term career in a programming job requires good connection. There are seniors guys that have been in programming jobs for long that find it hard to handle complex logic and cannot come up with solutions to complex problems. The programming industry is not for someone not connected.
My advice for those not connected, that want to go into programming is to have an idea and a software of their own that can bring them income.

HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT for Web Developers is the course title. I just started it, it seems outdated, but I'll finish anyway because I got it via financial aid and I promised to see it through.

What have you implemented with your math based programming??


Can you design and write code for a functional compiler or a basic boot loader with extended file system ??

W3Schools continually updates its courses. Even its React courses are up-to-date and you can take the paid exams too.

Is computer engineering roles also saturated?

Computer Engineering is a specialist area for working at companies like Intel, AMD etc. How many computer engineering grads end up working in those type of companies? The answer is very few.
"It’s worth noting that the underemployment rate for computer engineering graduates is 21.3%2. This means that a significant portion of computer engineering graduates are employed in jobs that do not require a degree in computer engineering." Source: https://standout-cv.com/uk-graduate-statistics
