Meme of two women fighting while a man smokes from a pipe in the background.
The women fighting are labeled “mathematicians defining pi” and “engineers just using 3 because it’s within tolerance”
The man smoking is labeled “astrophysicists” and the pipe is labeled “pi = 1”
And then you’re using C++ and they scold you for including cmath for just M_PI because it increases compilation times.
We’re talking about engineers here! We’re using MATLAB or Python if we’re programming at all.
Your not writing regular python code, your writing a special subset of python intended for engineers and scientists called “bad python code”
As a comp sci that interacts a lot with engineers, I feel this in my soul.
Coder/engineer confirmed.
You can’t say that for all engineers. I’m one and the biggest part of my job is programming in C++
