I freelance so I get to see everyone's shit. Mathfag code is by far the worst code out there, it's yanderedev tier scrawl with variables named a, b, c, d, e, etc.. They usually have very little to do structurally, it's all just some script glue around a core of passing data to a number crunching library, so is very light on 'programming'.
Webdev code is a test of how many things can be ducttaped together before it all falls apart and most code they write is trying to smooth over the problems this causes. It's the same kind of layered death spiral Java went through. Those who fail to learn from the past, etc..
Gamedev code (at least for Unity) is what webdev code used to be. They're all terrified of datastructures and either iterate over all objects in a collection or put them in Unity's version of the DOM. These are literally the only two search algorithms they will use, like a webdev with jquery. I assume Unreal projects have more competent devs but I haven't worked on one.
Systemsfags are where I feel the most comfortable and code quality is infinitely better, but autism is a problem. If lead autist feels threatened he will defend the most stupid, obviously wrong shit with his life and will never ever let it be changed.

Electrons travel slower than that in copper. Depending on the current, wire diameter and other factors they travel on order of 1 mm/s. Yes it seems counter intuitive, but that's not the speed of signal. If you push one electron in a pipe full of electrons another will exit on the other side "instantly", in case of copper more than half the speed of light 80-90% depending on parameters of the cable.
Electrons travel something on the order of several centimeters per second in copper wire. The thing traveling at half the speed of light is the electric field inside of the wire. The electric field just happens to drag some electrons lazily along with it.
people are designing shit tier sites clogged with videos, scripts and images for even the most basic conveyance of information to the consumer.
poorly embedded tweets (*buzzfeed and metro*), a series of 2 meg plus photos which comprise half of the article (no names here *vice.com*), three thousand links (*daily mail*),useless disqus troll comments feed (*torrentfreak*) to name a few. its awwful.
seriously just disable images,90 percent of the time they are unnessecary anyway.
but that is the way most shopping is headed,some banks only operate online and most government services can only be applied for online along with jobs. so yeah we are slaves on the digital plantation. we do not NEED to be but that is the reality unless the governments of the world revert to the 1970s which they will not unless they have to.
old news but it breaks the scripts of many sites in a seriously noticeable way.
Since 1998 everything related to computers has become shit.
Yeah man it's all down hill since windows 98
That's the kind of shit I was talking about. Everything is way too complex and overengineered, all of which is made more funny by the fact that the ultimate goal of all this crap is a couple shitty useless animations and sounds.
