This is why I don't believe in computer science degrees. What you learned 5 years ago may not be relevant today.
If the things one learns in a CS program are irrelevant 5 years later, that's a pretty crappy CS program.
I don't worry about my CS knowledge becoming irrelevant any more than I worry about calculus or differential equations becoming irrelevant.
- Hortinstein 15y agoI think OP may be confused that a lot of CS shouldn't be programming language specific. I haven't touched a lot of the languages I learned in college, but knowing specific patterns, data structures, algorithms, control flow, etc and how they may be integrated into the language I am using, whether as a feature of the language or even part underlying VM helps immensely when making intelligent decisions structuring my program.
