Einstein argued that there must be simplified explanations of nature, because God is not capricious or arbitrary. No such faith comforts the software engineer.
Wow, thanks, this reminds me of another, shorter, Great Course available from Stanford which I'd been meaning to post about for ages. The professor covers "the future of the internet" with a true expert's precision. He makes clear subtle economic points and lays out who really has the upper hand in the internet economy, why many communications acquisitions work or are bungled, etc. Though not pure CS, certainly relevant to the same crowd with a similar intensity to this MIT algorithms course.
