CS is unimportant in 99% of jobs. What's important in a job is making an impact in the company you work for. This means building product features, improving systems etc. but this rarely intersects with "CS" problems
- Tomis02 4y agoPeople think CS is unimportant, which is why we have crap software left, right and centre. But I don't want to get into that, so let's suppose you're right. What OP needs to figure out is if a job where CS is considered unimportant is what they want from their professional life. Pushing bits between API calls and learning new frameworks, building product features into a codebase without breaking existing ones.
- dunemaster 4y agoYou mean CS is unimportant for 99% of all code monkeys. But it is absolutely necessary for bleeding edge development and creating libraries that people who deem CS unimportant. It’s like saying that math is a complete waste of time because no programmer needs more than school algebra ever. True? Absolutely! Do we still need math? If you married rich or grew up rich then it’s a nice brain teaser. Otherwise touch grass.
