maybe better for another thread, but did you have any specific examples in mind? ( i kind of agree with you, just curious which your pet peeves are )
it’s been so interesting to me to learn who was behind some key techniques and algorithms.( so many women were involved with cg in the early days.)
i learned all my computer programming by breaking into college libraries instead of… say… actually at a college - so my experience might differ. but for a whole bunch of stuff - people act as if software algorithms come from the aether.
i think maybe that leads to people feeling they can easily reinvent the wheel, when actually there was a lot of thought behind some seemingly unimportant decisions
