Actually, I think it's a bad thing. The sooner Computer Science and Software Engineering become separate disciplines, the better.
- pas 12y agoSEs need to know results from CS. That might be seen as separate, but knowing results and when to apply which, I think requires one to be at least a bit CS-educated. So, no, they're not separate in the ideal case, but obviously, results in CS are arrived at through mathematics and rigorous proofs, whereas resutls in SE are usually produced via code.
