Meme of two women fighting while a man smokes from a pipe in the background.

The women fighting are labeled "mathematicians defining pi" and "engineers just using 3 because it's within tolerance"

The man smoking is labeled "astrophysicists" and the pipe is labeled "pi = 1"

We're talking about engineers here! We're using MATLAB or Python if we're programming at all.

    Your not writing regular python code, your writing a special subset of python intended for engineers and scientists called "bad python code"

    You can't say that for all engineers. I'm one and the biggest part of my job is programming in C++

    Just wanted to say something similar. Any low latency high frequency code is written in c++, c or assembler. And that’s engineers work usually.
