Poppycock. If you learn the Pumping Lemma. You know the Pumping Lemma. It doesn't matter if you are using Ruby on Rails or PHP 7 or whatever. I dismiss this notion that College is just where you go to learn how to learn. Scientists don't say this crap. They don't say "Nevermind all of that calculus you learned in College young physicist; college was just for you to 'learn how to learn' whatever that means! now you can go off and try to learn Calculus so you can do your job!" It doesn't make sense. It completely dismisses the notion that there is qualitative content based learning going on in colleges. It seems so customary to have this view but it doesn't seem to be based in fact. For any computer scientist that was not purely an autodidact, they probably learned a great deal about computer science, yes actual content, that is still and will stay relevant to them throughout their career.
