my cs degree was a poo poo-ton of math and the people who were too stupid to pass calculus 2 or whatever ended up in CIT, which is the CJ degree

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.

my CS senior design/capstone project made me work with mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and computer engineers to build a robot that could climb a rope and detect a round red target on the ground ~25ft away and hit it with darts. we were given nothing to start with, and the school shelled out a few hundred bucks per team for materials. it was a good school. i mean, it was a local public university that i commuted to, but it ruled.

HoboMan posted:that owns it did. it was probably the hardest/longest i've ever worked on something since. just debugging and experimenting with different hardware non-stop. spent a lot of time going into home depot for things to cannibalize for parts. we were ordering motors and gearboxes from all over the world and spending a ton shipping, and it turned out the best motor we could possibly get was by tearing apart a power drill. geared down for a ton of torque for dirt-cheap. got me my job right out of school, too.
