  Nonsense. An astrophysicist wouldn’t be caught dead hanging out in public with their dealer and somebody who thinks counting past 1 is pointless.

  (/s but also shit talking is fun so pop off if this made your blood boil and you’ve got a witty retort)

  Computer scientist here. I definitely do not think I’m better than a biologist.

    biochemist. i think I’m the worst lol

      I was actually on track to becoming a biochemist before I changed to computer science

    Xkcd really do have a panel for everything.

  Biology is just applied chemistry. Chemistry is just applied physics. Physics is just applied maths. Everything is maths.

    Math is just simplified physics. Physics is just simplified chemistry. Chemistry is just simplified biology.

      Chemistry is just simplified biology.

      Eh, for organic, maybe. For inorganic not really. And all the crystal stuff is just physics we appropriated. And the rest of materials science is rightfully ours as well and one day we shall take it back from the engineers.

    And holding up that entire stack is philosophy.

    Not wrong at all, as true today as when it was first said.

  Computer scientists? Sure, maybe. But all four of us will join together to resent the engineers for designing systems around extrapolated power law fits and lack of rigor (and totally not because they are higher paid or anything).

  Aren’t most computer scientists more like technicians or engineers than actual scientists?

  • featured@lemmygrad.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I wouldn’t say so. People who majored in CS in undergrad frequently go on to be software engineers, but if you’re using the title of computer scientist you’re almost certainly on the scientific/theoretical/mathematic side of the practice.

    Computer science is so broad you have some truth to your statement. It’s more science in the way math is a science as math is one of the underlying building structure of computer science. It also deals with languages and syntax so that’s also a subset of science.

    Some comp sci people are technicians, computer engineers, some being computer researchers, data scientists, etc
