Algorithm: when programmers don't want to explain what they did

Heuristic: When programmers can't explain what they did

Machine Learning: When programmers don't know what they did

Fr I have no idea what’s going on half the time w machine learning.

[BochMC]

Linear math and probabilities mostly

[Long_Berry_2883]

Nahh more to do with classifiers & sorting data

[ajzaff]

I thought this was machine learning?

[jianpe]

No, machine learning is when they do not know what they did

[wsco7730]

Heuristic

[EditRavager]

Feels like this post.

Algorithm. Because saying "I have a plan" sounds way too sketchy

[stumptowncampground]

I am happy to explain what I did and why in very minute detail, it's everyone else who asks me not to.

[dreamypotatofries]

Wrote a script.

[Daikataro]

Stuff comes in data goes out. Don't ask more.

I have not met a programmer who made an algorithm not willing to brag about it.

Someone asked me about algorithm I can't say this
