Does computer science damage your brain, making you incapable of learning proper science?
>>
>>7584573

No, just java programming
>>
Stay mad at my job prospects op.
>>
>>7584573
yes. look at how it ruins ai/cognitive science (not joking)
>>
joke all you want but computer science really did change my brain

needing to understand something well enough to program it showed me how inadequate the thing that some people call "understanding" really is, i.e. they think they know or understand something but they really do not

in effect, it made me much more autistic and showed me the truth of feynman's statement:
>What I cannot create, I do not understand
>>
>>7584573
Totally. But in 5 years, only computers will do science. So, I guess it's OK.

>understanding what logical statements do
>ruining my scientific cognition
you autistic fucks

If anything, CS makes you want to make use all your logic figuring out ways to make computers use logic to accomplish a task. There are diminishing returns that aren't apparent when it comes to making computers do your work for you.

What actually damage your brain are engineering majors. Go and learn real math bitch....

> wanking yourself with concepts that have little to no real life application
> better than engineering

I think it might make you more autistic, so to speak

I think math made me better at programming, however. I actually felt like I was doing a bit of baby analysis the other day because I was working on something with string splitting and needed to keep track of my indices. Was pretty cool

>proper science
Computer science more than proper science, it's the future.
>>
>>7587618
No. CS is gonna be obsolete when robots are doing everything. Learning to code will be pointless. The cloud is an intermediate step that is already slowly automating everything. Take robotics.
>>
>>7587627
You hit your head when you were little, didn't you?
The only way programming might be PARTLY automated is through genetic programming methods on super fast general purpose quantum computers and thats a whole different ballgame.
>>
How should I get into computer science? I've tried programming a few times but it's boring.

I've been thinking to go from the more physics side of it, like electronics or circuits.

But if I do programming, I'll probably try python again or C++

Programming is fun AFTER you've learned it.
