cs is where you learn topics from 1972 taught by people who think programming is a branch of mathematics

sup, bitch?
a CS degree teaches you computing theory. this is entirely useless to 90% or recipients, whose main challenge after graduation is making some lovely middlewear spit out a web page that only renders in ie6. on rare occasion one of the graduates will remember what a data structure is, and perhaps use it to make their O(n^3) operation not time out.

a traditional cs degree is basically a degree in applied mathematics that no one outside of the field realises

yeah the only programming classes I had was one in assembly for microcontrollers, one on "modern programming languages" which included a bit of ML, Prolog, and Java, and one on "event driven programming". Also had a course on digital logic and implementing poo poo in VHDL. Everything else was math, theory of computation, various calculus, algorithms, and lots and lots of proof writing.

i feel bad for people with poo poo jobs right out of college doing dumb javascript stuff.

my first job was optimizing algorithms used to process a fairly massive dataset in a faster time, as well as add new functionality. sure it was all ANSI-C, and targeted a SPARC64 Solaris system, but at least I was doing things like reducing time complexity, implementing a polygonal map quadtree to speed up polygon intersection/overlap/coverage tests, and reducing data compilation time from 2 weeks down to a few days. i've yet to write anything that runs in a browser.

Yes and no. The topics are the same. Nevertheless, the bourgeoisie never fail to expend capital to modify society for their benefit, as a result don't expect to get any high paying jobs with only that useless prole qualification.

tbh i think the closer you get to hardware the more actual engineering you do. i don't remember poo poo from my math classes but the compilers / circuits / signal processing stuff still sticks with me
