Category Theory for the Working Hacker [video]

I don't know about hacking but when my ex was cheating on me, a friend of mine referred me to Mr Robert I thought it wasn't real but he later proved me wrong by helping me to spy on my ex-husband and got me all the necessary evidence I needed. He helped me to hack and spy on his emails, mobile , all his social media and his bank accounts, Robert did all this remotely without touching his devices. You can contact him with mastershield55@gmail.com if you are in the same shoe as I was..

To be honest, Category Theory is the last thing a software developer ("working hacker") should worry about learning. It is indeed a fun subject, it has grown into a large branch of algebra, it has connections with functional programming (lambda calculus) etc. But if one wants to be a good programmer, there is so much of really useful and important (and difficult) stuff to learn before you can even come to appreciate what, if anything, knowing Category Theory can do to improve your software engineering skills, that I would dare to characterize it just as an obscure subject that in all likelihood is not worth spending your time on.

I'm curious, what should come before as a far as a mathematical subject ? Graph theory ? Number theory ?

The purely mathematical subjects that are deemed important for programmers are parts of the so-called Discrete Mathematics. The Wikipedia article on it lists what is included. It is a vast collection of topics, but discerning what would be more important (or interesting) for you should not be hard.

Intellectual masturbation much?
