Computing vs. Computing + X
- mwerty 19y agoResonates with a blog posting by Scott Adams: http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2007/07/career-advice.html http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2007/07/care...
- greendestiny 19y agoThis nothing to do with computing being less useful, its just that now computing is so essential for other fields. If other courses want to have a computing for X then go for it, it's not the problem of the Computer Science department.
- neilc 19y agoThis reminds me of the need for math in the sciences and engineering vs. the way math is studied at a typical math department. You need to know how to use calculus and differential equations to be an engineer, but you need to understand the fundamental principles underlying those techniques to a much greater degree as a math major (and as a math graduate student, even more so).
- nazgulnarsil 19y agoi'd say for a startup founder it's more like computer + business + X
- pchristensen 19y agoI think that's what most unsung "old guy" (35+) startups are - domain knowledge that's impossible to get without a decade or so in the industry. Targeted, valuable, higher odds of success.
