You're right, but the window dressing is the platforms we use to build production software. Other people responding to this comment seem to think that the CS fundamentals aren't worth getting good at. I think both the CS fundamentals and modern frameworks are both worth knowing well.

Adding CS fundamentals to the mix makes it worse. All of our free time will be eaten up. Unless you like to be immersed in that world 24/7, something has got to give.
- krupan 9y agoThe fundamentals don't change every six years. Get them down, then do a quick refresher before a job interview.
- dkarapetyan 9y agoThis is the correct answer. Much of CS theory is timeless. Relational algebra has not changed since it was conceived and applied to create SQL.
