Не боги горшки обжигают

Вот пишет дяденька, по профессии анестезиолог. Как он переписал куски в линуксовом ядре, чтоб быстрее работало:

Although I'd never learnt how to program, looking at the code it eventually started making sense.[...] I was left pointing out to people what I thought the problem was from looking at that particular code. [...] I figured I'd just start tinkering myself and try and tune the thing myself. [...] After a few failed experiments I started writing some code which helped... a lot. [...] I was never very happy with how the CPU scheduler tackled interactivity but at least it was now usable on the desktop. [...] Not being happy with how the actual underlying mechanism worked I set out to redesign that myself from scratch, and the second generation of the -ck patchset was born. This time it was mostly my own code.

So this is the story of how I started writing my own code for the linux kernel.

Факультеты компьютерной науки очень важны.

Ghm. I learned C by reading v6 Unix kernel sources (I wanted to add cyrillic support to the terminal and serial line drivers). Figured it in about a week. The K&R book appeared about a year later:)

But, then, I'm no anestesiologist, and did some assembly and FORTRAN programming before.

Правильно у мастеров надо учиться, а не у академиков.

Факультеты компьютерной науки должны давать несколько иные вещи. Концепции. А язык изучить, тем более такой простой, как C -- дело действительно не университетского уровня.
