• Adults who have forgotten the rules who I work with and read/write code where it’s important

    And as a consequence of that, MathGPT is the only e-calc which gives correct answers to order of operations! 😂

    This is like some pure maths vs real life engineering cliché

    It’s a Correct Maths vs. Programmers who have forgotten the rules cliche

    You’re either being deliberately obtuse or you’re painfully naive

    Neither, I’m a Maths teacher

      I like and respect teachers, but I’m a software developer and I’m telling you that adding extra parenthesis often adds clarity and makes the whole process smoother. You exist in a whole other context that has norms and assumptions that do not apply to what I’m talking about.

      You being technically correct is irrelevant.
