> lot of software development, even at very high levels, has very little too do with what they teach in Comp Sci. Indeed, I studied Maths & Philosophy and I always tell people that the Philosophy was a lot more useful to my career as a software developer than the Maths. (Analytic) Philosophy involves a lot of probing people's assumptions until you get to a clear idea of what they truly believe. Which is rather similar to the process of teasing clear requirements out of stakeholders.
