This is the correct response to OP's question, that they are making a category error: computer science is not programming, it is mathematics.
- bruce511 5y agoThis was exactly my thought too. I knew how to program before studying, but the structural theoretical things I learned made me a much better programmer for my entire career. Add in the other subjects, statistics, maths, applied maths and so on, and I think I'm better equipped to solve the problems I am solving. But my biggest take away from my CS degree wasn't the programming part, it was the theory part.
