Circa spring of last year, Computer Science 1

The guy sitting next to me asked me a clarifying question about what our professor was mumbling and scribbling illegibly on the board.
I start to respond, only for the professor to YELL at me in front of the class for helping him, saying that programming was a personal affair and that I should be minding myself.
He even yelled at me for helping someone that is "too stupid help themselves" and that I shouldn't worry if the person next to me doesn't get it.
I felt bad, the kid next to me felt bad, and I avoided a semester of computer science just to not have him again.

    Sounds like that person wasn't doing well because of that teacher, who obviously shouldn't be teaching. Kudos for trying to help out!

    Programming is very personal.
    Debugging is not.
    Learning is certainly not.

    Your "teacher" is a fuck-off. 😡
