> The biggest misconception is that in Math there is one "correct" answer.

Well written...and I'd argue the same is for both Computer Science and software engineering in general. When teaching beginners, it still astonishes/annoys me how many students tell me, "My program didn't work"...as if there was just one reason why it didn't work, as opposed to hundreds of possible reasons.




The first sign of programming maturity is the realization that it might be working just by accident. On that one case.
