Learning basic computer science can be bad for productivity as you start to worry about memory, bits and cycles. While its good to know for optimization, high level programming is mostly about memorizing methods. Most high level languages have a very good abstraction layer, so it's possible to be a very good programmer without knowing the stack in depth. What I like about new programmers, someone that switched from another profession, so they got a lot of life and job experience, while being eager to learn. I'm dealing with professionals every day do do not want to learn, even if it would make them more valuable and efficient.
