Response to: Off base!

Thank you for your message professor. Especially for this comment, "Only about the top 5% or 10% in intelligence can survive a CS major at any reputable university. If you hire a CS graduate, you are hiring intelligence."


I believe next to the Physicists (mad geniuses), that us Comp. Scientists work the hardest. The Com. Engineers have it pretty tough too.


I imagine that the guy writing this weblog has a degree in management without any real technical background. What he doesn't realize, if a person is able to learn "neural networks, computer vision, artificial intelligence, robotics, compiler engineering, machine learning, quantum computing, Bayesian networks, embedded systems…,"


that the subjects in his trivial list are just second nature to us. I think that this guy, like most other non-computer science IT professionals, is probably jealous that he can't make it in a class like artificial intelligence.

    I don't like rising to flame-bait, but I can't help this one... I (the author of this weblog entry) studied a masters degree then a PhD in astrophysics.
