Re: For Mentors Only: Inspiring Youth
Me: Lets give up on the binary counter chips, interrupts will do the job just fine!
Mentor: Yeah, but those chips are so cool and so is the multiplexing code!
Me: Yes, but interrupts will work, lets just implement it that way and move on...
Mentor: You know what else is cool?
This sword cuts both ways. I don't see it as a mentor/student thing, but rather a personal bias issue. I've seen many professionals succumb to perfectionism many a time, and it's not always a bad thing.
