“I need to discuss science vs. engineering. Put glibly:
In #science if you know what you are doing you should not be doing it.
In #engineering if you do not know what you are doing you should not be doing it."

― Richard Hamming, "The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn" (1997)

Some blokes just have that special relationship with words. Hamming’s one.

@AmenZwa look guy just because you gave us Hamming codes doesn't mean you get carte blanche on wasting our time with semantic nonsense 😠

@mancube Hamming Code was not the only thing Hamming did. I liked his turn of phrase, and his simple, but deep, statement rings true with practising scientists and licensed engineers. Besides, reading those few word wastes no time at all.

@AmenZwa brilliant dude for sure. shaq is a brilliant baller but still can't free throw. this has "big aristotle" vibes to this engineer, but just one data point.
