is it weird for me to find programming languages fascinating but Project Euler to be irritatingly boring?

@WorldEngineer Nope... Project Euler is boring :P
 
user20683
@jae Honestly I think that's what separates people who want to do software dev work from people who want to hack/do math on a computer
 
Jae
Jae
@WorldEngineer In other words, it separates the computer geeks from the calculator nerds :P
 
user20683
it's kind of the binding thread of my two degrees, I care a whole lot about narrative structure
 
Jae
Jae
@WorldEngineer Would you mind me asking what those two degrees are?
 
user20683
Religious Studies (Comparative) and Computer Science

so the first degree means I can write but won't employ me
 
user20683
the second will employ me
 
Jae
Jae
@WorldEngineer Is it just me, or is that an odd mix? They're both interesting though.
 
user20683
it's an odd mix in a sense
 
user20683
but they've got more in common than you might think
 
user20683
both have a fair bit to say about "holy war"

@WorldEngineer :P
 
user20683
narrative control
 
user20683
myths and legends
 
user20683
also the whole "learning to write thing" in Rels helps in CS
 
user20683
you may have noticed that I tend toward being pretty literate.
 
user20683
also I got word today, I was .2 into full A territory for Calculus /stoked

@WorldEngineer That's great!
 
user20683
I honestly wasn't worried about that class
 
user20683
physics and programming language concepts on the other hand
 
user20683
path of death on the last one
 
user20683
basically Mass Effect on Insanity: The Class
 
user20683
though Algorithms in the fall will likely suck more
