Good human
Copilot go brrrr
Gets even worse the more years of experience you have. You end up being the solo dev trying to figure out a stupidly over complicated 20 year old piece of software written by a sadist that loves WCF and using tcp sockets to send data between classes in the same project
The medical professions are feeling this meme with you.
I understand 90% of the science behind what I do as a medical diagnostic technologist. It’s still fucking magic as far as I’m concerned.
CTs and MRIs? Atom spin/relax releasing detectable energy waves that are somehow able to be read and aggregated by algorithms into a high detail image of the inside of a human body? Tell me that isn’t magic and I’ll call you a liar.

Surprisingly I’ve never heard of “computational physics” (as a specific field), but it sounds intensely interesting.
I completely agree, though. You can’t look at a modern transistor (no really - you can’t) and tell me it isn’t some form of sorcery.

Well I’m still impressed, honestly. I took computer science, and I would have loved to lean further on the math/physics side. I’m one of those people that wants to know how a machine works from scratch, as foolish as that is, haha.
I recently saw a video that showed how the lightbulbs led to the invention of transistors, can’t remember the title or channel, but it was really interesting.
Seems that starting with 1800’s early electric technology makes it much easier to understand current, super miniaturized and specialized tech
Oh hey, I think I’ve seen the video you’re talking about (and also can’t remember the channel). Super interesting for sure.
I’ve always wanted to know how to create a simple computer entirely from scratch (in case of a time machine situation), but creating even a crude transistor from scratch is actually really hard, it turns out.
