Completely agree. This is "how to become a programmer with a general knowledge". Far, far away from a Computer Scientist. I can't see any of the "basics" stuff

Completely agree. This is "how to become a programmer with a general knowledge". Far, far away from a Computer Scientist. I can't see any of the "basics" stuff like calculus, algebra... BUT, it is truth that most of the enterprises are fine having a programmer rather than a Computer Scientist... Probably most of them can't even tell the difference.

to be fair, it says software engineer not computer scientist. But I don't really think it's a good basis for that. It really does look like a "cheat sheet for interviews"

Most enterprises would much _rather_ a programmer than a Computer Scientist. They, by and large, want and need implementation of either existing architectures (Programmers) or existing concepts applied to a take on an explored problem domain (Software Engineers). Research into net-new patterns (Computer Science) is often the domain of large corporate R+D departments and a few niche startups, not the bulk of industry.

  I'd go so far as to say that almost zero jobs need Computer Scientists.
