I disagree, if you consistently think that the code you wrote a year ago is shit then you are probably just chasing a new fad every year. I'd say that if a junior developer with a year in a language doesn't write code he can rightfully be proud of then he is focusing on the wrong things.

No, it is just that physicists means something different than mathematicians when they use the word "function". Just assume that they always are distributions that are evaluated with dirac deltas and everything makes sense.

They most likely said "The wave function is differentiable and its derivative is continuous", which isn't obvious. If you think that it sounded strange you should have asked during the lecture and they would have explained. Now instead you just assumed that you knew better and made a fool of yourself...

Also this isn't advanced mathematics, this is something most who are interested learns in high-school and I can assure you that most physics professors are aware of this fact.

Debates tend to polarize people so it wont do much good.

The logic is simple: Everyone needs to be a coder if you want to fill all coding jobs with top 1% coders.
