computer science != programming
Why does this very basic fact elude so many?
- jonafato 16y agoBecause so often, computer science education boils down to "code this, now here's your degree" without requiring any of the mathier stuff.
- derleth 16y agoComputer science is about programming the same way thermodynamics is about engines: It's possible to do it with no reference to the outside world, and no concern for what 'practical' means beyond, maybe, P and NP, but nobody cares about the people who do it like that.
- billswift 16y agoComputer science requires programming. Computer science without programming is like biology or chemistry without lab skills, or studying a language without being able to write.
