       Ask HN: What is the best way to get into Physics as a coder?
        
       I don't know anything about Physics.

       | Some people who do know about physics don't need coders and some
       | do.
       | 
       | You need to find people who do know about physics, but who still
       | need coders.
       | 
       | Physics is just too big a subject to 'know about it' enough to
       | 'get into physics as a coder'.
       | 
       | Yes, you will need to know about a specific 'problem domain'
       | within physics
       | 
       | One that someone somewhere needs a coder for.
       | 
       | But start with people, not with physics
       | 
       | People need coders, physics doesn't
       | 
       | People have physics problems that they need coders to solve
       | 
       | Read up, find the people with the unsolved physics coding
       | problems that you can work out how to help them solve
       | 
       | Then your problems will really begin
       | 
       | Then you'll find out if getting into physics as a coder was right
       | for you
