- Scientists in other (non-CS) fields don't have time to worry with learning how
- to do better CS any more than they have time to learn any other discipline. Why
- do you think PhD's are offered in CS? There is more to learn there than anyone
- could ever hope to master. The CS people are (typically) better at writing applications
- than anyone, just like the geophysicists are better at what they do, the biologists are
- better at what they do, etc.
-
- Why is this such a mysterious problem? It's very simple: egos are at stake. This whole
- thread is completely silly...
