This is accurate. I don’t. My impression is “algorithms and data structures”, which is fuzzy for me. I don’t care at all about algorithms. Data structures I think I should know more about at some point.
I considered studying CS after starting working with software development, but decided I don’t want to. Kind of related, but I also decided that I don’t want to study leetcode too, even though there is a financial incentive to do it.
I am happy being someone that some arrogant developers like to call “web developer”, “programmer” or, at most, “software developer” as opposed to what a “software engineer” is. I understand the difference that those people try to point out. And I agree there is a difference and I don’t care to be on the side of line that I am. It does bother me that every time I see someone making a point of showing where the line is, it’s from a point of arrogance, entitlement. This does bother me, and I felt that tone in the comment I replied to.
