I'm retired now but all during my research and teaching career, I found that the best programmers were those that had a broader background than just programming and also mathematicians (as maths is really philosophy 😉).

@ericsfraga @sacha @blainsmith I’d say that many, if not most, of us in #DigitalHumanities (necessarily) have such interdisciplinary backgrounds—but computing is, of course, dominated by increasingly narrow-minded engineering. I’m going to reflect on computer science as a humanities discipline next week at #UndoneCS… https://www.undonecs.org/2026/programme.html
