Learning how to program

mfw.

How much of the software you use was written by mathematicians? In the extremely rare case we get a mathfag programmer who can actually accomplish something, they tend to go berserk and murder everyone like Hans Reiser. The only mathfag programmer I know IRL is obsessed with taking pictures of sluts dangling off of ledges or being held underwater and I fully expect to hear he's a serial killer someday.

You're confused about what is SICP. SICP is about the structure and interpretation of computer programs. SICP isn't about the structure of computers. You are confused and this is why you judge SICP for things that it never intends to do.

Amazing. Truly you are a master of computers.

I judge it as a first year CS book that makes students less able to write good software. I wouldn't let them read it, most schools agreed and didn't make it part of the syllabus, and MIT has even dropped it. It was a mistake.

Don't be jealous, qt. Get to work.

You are correct in that SICP is an introductory CS book. However, you seem to believe that the purpose of computer science is to teach people to write computer software. This is a mistake as computer science is not a course whose intent is to train software engineers. SICP has no intent to teach people to "write good software". The intent of SICP is to introduce people to fundamental computer science lessons.

Having non mathfags start programming was a mistake. The only way computer security is ever going to be accomplished is with theorem provers .

The Jews really got you good didn't they, user? Keep telling yourself this when you have your $100k piece of paper in hand and are literally the CS Grad meme bombing fizzbuzz in interviews.

Mathfags never get anything done. Go look at the Haskell community, they're all over it and they don't do shit.
