I am moving into administration full time, and I figured that this was my last chance to learn some of the cool new digital-humanities stuff I&#8217;ve been reading about. What eventually drove me out of the class (which I was enjoying tremendously) was the time commitment: The work of coding, I discovered, was an endless round of failure, failure, failure before eventual success. Computer-science students are used to failing. They do it all the time. It&#8217;s built into the process, and they take it in stride.<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><span>tags:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/failure\">failure<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/learning\">learning<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/chronicle\">chronicle<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/CS\">CS<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"diigo-ps\">Posted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
