I could have used him when I was in engineering school when I was coding the Newton-Raphson method to find successively better approximations to the roots of a real-valued functions. He would have been an outstanding tutor, but “Learn Ebonics in 30 Days” would have been a prerequisite to hiring him. Too bad that Stephen Wolfram took all the fun out of solving those problems.
So, we’ve progressed...from “taking in each others laundry” to “coding each others websites”. Hmmm.
