Programming Projects Are Math or Files
Programming something? I'LL SHOW YOU SOMETHING INTERESTING. The two types of programming projects are math and files. All programming projects fall into these two categories. Languages/compilers? Math. Databases? Files. YEAH... Machine learning? Math. Operating systems? Files. Despite containing more math than almost any other type of programming project, computer graphics is usually files.
A Calvin and Hobbes comic presents a programmer explaining that every programming project is either math or files, while Calvin listens skeptically. The punchline is that computer graphics contains lots of mathematics but is still categorized as files, making this a reaction to overly simplistic technical classifications.
