I disagree. If you're capable of being a good programmer, you'll get there faster by doing it than majoring in CS. If I were giving my 18yo self advice, I'd suggest majoring in physics but taking the minimum required courses. With a light core schedule, fill up the rest with economics, writing composition and history. Maybe design. On the other hand, PhD programs in CS are worthwhile.
