It seems to me that regardless, you need to still have a CS degree and understand (and be able to implement) algorithms of increasing complexity, even if you're making a CRUD app.
But I agree, these interview posts altogether don't seem to say anything consistent.
- cpt1138 14y ago"you need to still have a CS degree and understand (and be able to implement) algorithms of increasing complexity, even if you're making a CRUD app." Why?
- decadentcactus 14y agoSorry if it wasn't clear, I meant that's the impression I get from a lot of these interview posts.
- mistercow 14y agoWhy would you need to have a CS degree?
- heretohelp 14y ago>you need to still have a CS degree and understand (and be able to implement) algorithms of increasing complexity One doesn't necessarily lead to the other, and the absence of A doesn't exclude B. It's a common mistake to believe that CS cannot be self-taught.
- velshin 14y agoAnecdotal, but a few of the best software engineers I've known did not have CS degrees. You certainly do not need one to write a CRUD app in Rails/Django.
