I'm not entirely sure that the craft of programming has a great deal to do with the core of computer science. A programmer develops software for the hardware of today, so good programmers had better be well acquainted with von Neumann’s architecture. Theoretical computer science doesn’t need that architecture. It also needs mathematicians more than programmers, I think.
