Personally, I see it come up in more vague areas during my Web Development. It's more along the lines of, "based off my understanding of X, I can assume this bit of JavaScript code works like this under the hood". Understanding how memory works traditionally keeps me "memory-conscience", but this may be redundant when working with JavaScript. When writing complicated operations I can use things I've learned previously to improve efficiency. To put it nicely, I'm not balancing binary trees and sorting my arrays with JavaScript. However, it was helpful when learning how the VDom works. In other industries... I started my Software Development journey with C, then moved into Game Development in C++ as my first job. Game Development DEFINITELY requires a lot of CompSci info (that I lacked). Hash Maps, Pathfinding, Matrix math, physics calculations, Linked Lists; all the works. We were also using a proprietary Game Engine so maybe with other Engines CompSci isn't as needed, I haven't worked in different engines.
