He doesn't even know trig.

Just a clever script kiddie.

That shyt is impressive if you're 14.

Worked in the field for 30 years, never needed anything more than a calculator occasionally.

Clearly another "CS" dude who's never studied big-O notation

Why study it? Just need to know which algos have which operational behavior.  No need to know the underlying math unless you want to write a new algorithm. And why would anybody do that today? You just have a 169% chance of fuqing it up and having it perform worse than something in use by millions of other developers.

maybe YOU would fuq it up.  someone who knows the Master Theorem probably would not.  But you'd need a college education and some math for that.
