Hmm, interesting. It’s been 30 years since my engineering degree (not CS) and I’d have to look up what a Turing machine is. I think I remember one professor briefly mentioned it as “This is something the CS majors care deeply about but nobody else in the industry does.” Where I was, the CS degree was essentially a math degree dressed up in a hoodie.

To a first approximation, that's what it's supposed to be. CS is a field of mathematics. It's not a trade school course.
