Paul Graham on SICP (2000)
> Let's see if we can put this in terms that the undergrads will understand -- a problem setIt would be more accurate to say "in terms that MIT/Stanford/Ivy undergrads will understand", considering most universities just call it "homework". Since that's the background Paul and many of his colleagues come from, it's understandable. However, as a CS undergrad at a more run-of-the-mill university, it's a bit discouraging to see this vocabulary so widespread at the top levels of the industry - it makes it seem almost impossible to break in when everyone else is a part of the "elite" that you're not in.At the end of the day, I realize this is a totally trivial issue. Just curious if any other folks out there have noticed this.
