I am a philosophy major. Algorithms are fundamental to good arguments, and in fact, knowledge in general. Doing philosophy (especially logic & analytic philosophy of language and mind) has enabled me to see through the bullshit and know where the really interesting areas are to pay attention. Often a bunch of folks will turn off in class when discussing something that they see as just some sort of industry standard, and doing philosophy enables me to see the logical reasons why a particular strategy was adapted. I can't imagine how anyone does computer science seriously without a philosophical interest in it.
