I would argue that calculus is essential in discrete maths, but ML is not essential in Computer Science.

    To be a developer you don't even need to go to university. I know a lot of valid developers with a technical high school diploma, and I see that most of the time are better than a lot of people with a degree (or even a master degree). To this days to be a developer university must be seen just as something extra that you do if you want to occupy positions that goes beyond being a simple programmer.
