There's something to be said about purposely inflating one's title to sound cooler (there's certainly bad people graduating with CS degrees), but let's set that point aside for a moment. Sounds to me like you saying that implementing a design pattern != good code? An example of my bias is more towards something like this: (1) someone with a CS background is more likely to notice and inefficient algorithm and know how to optimize it (2) someone who just knows how to code in a language may not be aware of the presence of a suboptimal algorithm, much less know how to optimize it How do you explain to a non-technical person the difference and importance between (1) and (2)? I guess it's going to be difficult, but I was curious if anyone was able to easily convey (1) or (2) in a quick short introductory pitch.
