That's correct. If someone wants a vocational program to get a job, they should go to a vocational school or program. I didn't spend four years studying computer science to become a C# or Javascript code monkey.
Aside from that, in class I learned theory and was tested in that (actually we were taught how to program Java too). If I wanted to manifest that theory in an application, the expectation was that I do it in my own time.
I have no desire to see CS programs dragged down to the lowest common denominator because some companies want low-paid Javascript monkeys but require a Bachelors for the position.

- geodel 7y agoYou are right. I have seen Harvard University ads in DC metro trains where it tries wring some money out by peddling JS/Frontend courses. I wouldn't be surprised if there are 'summa cum laude' in ReactJS or some such by next decade.
