Okay, if you ever feel bad about having screwed up your programming, ask any programmer you really respect what their last bug was, and I guarantee it'll be a null check or an equals check accidentally flipped to not-equals. The more experienced you are in this business, the dumber the bugs seem to get.

HOT TAKE (Like, real real spicy.) [computers are bad, and I blame gamers] 

1.) Most of the advancements in modern computing have been directly targeted at making poorly optimized games run better.

2.) AAA PC Gaming is actively making computers worse

Because of @jk I'm thinkin' about computer science.

We gotta start differentiating between the two schools of code.

There is the technical "computer science" or "computer engineering" side of things, and then there's the "I need this thing so ima build it" side of things.

These two are not the same.

It's the difference between being able to build a table and being a master craftsman. This is okay!

Both are valuable.
