You play around without fully understanding the underlying laws of physics.</p><p>One can improvise and rely solely on intuition to create a masterpiece.</p><p>At the same time, the discipline of software engineering is not going anywhere. Learning to code and thinking like an engineer are more important than ever.</p><p>Mathematics and programming deeply influence how you think about systems and solve problems.</p><p>No one truly knows
