That's just good to know in general. It's basically a rigorous treatment of the question "if something is infinitesimally close to something else, does it become that thing?" which is interesting not just for math and science

Coding is not a problem. You can hire an Indian from vworker.com to do any coding you need for $1 an hour. Coders are modern day assembly line workers.

The hard part, is coming up with an idea worth coding...
