>>14266778i'm a software eng and i'm considering falling for the grad school meme
all the interesting problems seem gated behind a strong numerical math background, or extreme skill in c++ and linux
>>14266813>who think they're making something more robust and accurate than it actually is.kek i fully admit it's actual crap. when deadlines and performance are based on results you accept flaws to meet quarterly goals.
when there's problems in the code some of the problems are categorized as "this is bad but not that bad so we will never fix it"
>>14266982regarding software eng specific things you have to intern if you want that sort of experience
the most based professors i have float in and out of industry so they either were/are SWEs or are current with the industry
but a lot of them stay in their ivory tower
