@hazelweakly I am quite certain that the "Computer Science" qualifier is redundant.

@hazelweakly The third hardest is I presume then to get people in tech to understand that 90% of all ‘technical’ problems are instead socio-political ones and that neither political nor social problems have technical solutions?

@hazelweakly can I venture a 3) not every goddamn thing is a tech problem.

@hazelweakly TBH the first problem in any field is always humans.

@hazelweakly this is basically a generalized form of “reading other people’s code”

@hazelweakly I thought the two hardest computer science problems were: 1) naming things 2) cache invalidation 3) off by one errors (To be clear, I fully agree with the "communication" point. Just couldn't pass up the set up for a joke.)

@hazelweakly I fully admit to HATING the mandatory "arts" courses (English lit, sociology, history, etc) I had to do as part of my uni degree. If I were doing it now I would probably have chatgpt'ed my way through most of the essay writing. Which is what I worry is happening with the next generation 😬 I'm at the point in life/career where I realize these were actually really useful. how do we actually illustrate the value of these subjects to future generations? For me I know part of the issue was time management - trying to focus on reading a book and reflecting on it while also juggling all the "engineering" course work. Separate them into their own year/semester?

@hazelweakly Does not help that many are like myself - Aspergic - and that the inside-code and outside-application views and logistics are so often massively different. Tiny user change can take forever ...

@hazelweakly something ironic about tech enabling such fast commutation, while really sucking at using it appropriately / at all 😅

@hazelweakly Funny enough, at my company, the tech team is the one doing its best so that everyone communicate 🙃

@craignicol@glasgow.social 2025-12-24 22:44
@hazelweakly see also: the most important language to know in computer science is your own native tongue. (Or whatever your organisation uses to communicate)

@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io i think that might actually just be one problem
