That is like saying that a computer should play chess the same way a human does.

Humans make mistakes, forget, and have limited time to crunch numbers. So, we have methods to help us do things. Computers do not have these shortcomings, and thus can do things that we wish we could do. Also, there are patterns a computer can "see" that an unaided human cannot.

Computers are not just there to implement human algorithms as if they were macros. They are game changers, and should be used as such. Not that everything you do without a computer should be thrown out. Keep what works best, but make sure you utilize the computer for its strengths, not just its speed.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
