You joke, but I've actually encountered many people this standoffish about their designs in my career.
Yea this is quite common. People are still humans
This is why I have tried to drill into junior devs that it is important to take a step back for several minutes before responding to criticism. It's just too easy to fall into the trap of interpreting comments and suggestions on improvement as a personal attack.
Yeah, I got a problem with n^{logn}, wtf is that monstrosity??
Apparently that's quasi polynomial time, which grows faster than polynomial time but not quite as fast as exponential time.
Probably, though the artist appeared to draw η (eta) rather than n which could mean they’re using learning rate to compute the bounds of some other value. I’m more curious what y-base log they’re taking and why.
It’s almost like it’s just supposed to look mathy or something.
You got a problem for your algorithm, professor?
Ah, the theory group. My people.
