And the difference between the twoIt’s a problem all too often found amongst computer scientists—we’re great at programming, but pretty bad at coding.

You learn how to implement a hash function, how the kernel does context switching, how a Red-Black tree actually works, or the dubious practice of “programming” a Turing machine.Alex Daifotis5 min read
