scientist

Can we remove the "shames scientists" bit from the headline?

I am a scientist, and I have seen a lot of terrible code.

The dolphin promptly went to the mother and did the same to the scientist with milk !

You can't practice alchemy or voodoo and expect people to treat you like a scientist.

Most scientists have no formal training in computer science or coding.

Yeah, good stuff--but I would in no way attach computer scientist to these activities.

Any scientist worth his salt should support following good practices because it will always lead to better science.

The target demographic for this article is someone who is not a computer scientist.

This person reads the same blog articles that computer scientists do, and comes to the conclusion that "I should learn C++ for my number crunching".

A story goes that a scientist observing an young dolphin from an underwater portal had blown a cloud of cigarette smoke at it.

I've seen the argument: if someone is so clueless about rationality as to be religious, how could they make a good scientist?

I wrote something about how I learnt everything in college...am not a hacker...and that you should go to grad school if you want to get better at CS. So they edited out all of the pro-college stuff and just said this guy is data scientist.

This guy is a scientist by definition if he has any experimental validation, and I didn't see a citation for anyone being shamed.

My jokes demonstrate what you've been allowing for years but only seem to care about now that it's insulting your own ethos of the "uber hacker scientist ruling the world":You guys love cruelty and insult, I'm proof.

Unless you've made a lot of money and you've been on the cover of Forbes, or you put an autonomous vehicle on Mars while wearing a Mohawk, telling people you're a programmer/mathematician/scientist is more likely to get them to presumptuously assume you're some mechanistic robot than for them to say "wow, interesting stuff".

I have put all of my creative energy into creating video games, and though I may never make a hit game or be a great musician or a scientist, these things are giving me exponentially more pleasure than working a full time job, spending 8 to 10 hours a day with people I don't love, playing office politics, supporting a platform I don't care about and just waiting for the weekend so I can sleep.
