One of my colleagues in the past had a degree in divinity, and the one who hired my had a psychological degree. You appear to assume that a background in physics or mathematics would give a distinct advantage over others in programming in all fields. While I'm sure those skills are a basic necessity in developing new physics engines and possibly a new sorting, compression or encryption algorithm, many fields do not require a developer to "reinvent" the wheel and they can simply use existing proven technologies. This is often called building on the "shoulders of giants".

I think that the fact that I am multilingual and have a firm grasp of "logic" is far more useful than any mathematics that I might have learned in school. I view programming as more of an "art" than a science. It is a form of expression and the programming languages are analogous to human languages used in writing stories and prose. One could say that methods of a class are very much like prose on a conceptual level and the class is analogous to a chapter in a book."

Absentminded Professor or Mad Scientist? Who cares as long as we think and learn...

     With so much to share and discuss, I have created a 4th blog, this one devoted to Science.  There will be some crossover with my other blogs; Poker Paradox, Gamers Paradox, and my personal blog, but only occasionally.
     The majority of this blog will be about Science, but there will be much theory, and conjecture as well.. please feel FREE to comment or add to discussions on whatever topics interest you.  It has always been said that "Two heads are better than one!" ... and the more the merrier!
