I'd agree w/ @benwerd, I think that an understanding of CS is a helpful background in understanding computing. Think of it as an equivalent of taking US History before practicing law.
Although I barely use much of the low level coding that I learned, I find that a deeper understanding is invaluable.
- gusgordon 14y agoWhat if I'm probably not going to be an engineer? Like I'm more interested in the logistics and theory of things.
- cyrusradfar 14y agoEngineers respect people who get engineering. Also, whatever role you are, if you have to decide on planning/prioritization it's helpful to have an understanding if people are bs'ing on time estimates. You can't really understand the complexity of a feature or shift in direction without the computing background.
