    This is true but it’s much easier to understand in retrospect unless you have a very very gifted math teacher (or series of teachers really) when you start learning it. For most people learning algebra it’s just another checkbox to tick for some reason. Plus pesky word problems that make you figure out the equations on top of that.

    Now that I’m an adult I recognize what all of this was trying to teach me. But back in my school days it was just another thing I had to do between hanging out with friends.









  • Is there a language that anyone would say really does fare well for continued development or is it just that few people enjoy maintaining code? I’ve maintained some pretty old Go programs I wrote and didn’t mind it at all. I’ve inherited some brand new ones and wanted to rage quit immediately. I’ve also hated my own code too, so it’s not just whether or not I wrote it.

    I have found maintainability is vastly more about the abstractions and architecture (modules and cohesive design etc) chosen than it is about the language.
