    Although a lot of it probably isn't classic programming in isolation. I happened to be looking at my undergrad's course catalog a few months back for some reason. I was really struck by the number of non-CS engineering and science degrees that are basically something like Chemistry + Computers. This has long been true to some limited degree; I took a FORTRAN course as part of my mechanical engineering degree (though that was pretty much the only time I touched a computer undergrad). But it's certainly much more pronounced today.

I'm always surprised by how few developers ever seem to look outside their own domain. Software is everywhere. When I got bored, I used to google "software for X," trying to come up with the weirdest application for software and it never failed to generate a few hits of some company, somewhere selling software for that particular use case.
