Like really, I consider computer science to be in the camps of theory, systems, and the applications of the latter two to specific subtopics (applying cs theory to probability theory yields computational learning theory, while applying systems to probability theory yields ML, etc.) of varying purity and interdisciplinary activity (quantum complexity comes to mind and NLP are two fields that come to mind).
It’s clear that there are many great things in CS but software dev roles isn’t one of them. It seems that way because of companies and demand for workers, but the study of CS. I’d argue that shitty research code, scripts, language theory, etc. are more important bits from just code in CS than anything in software industry
