>>12275061They're not really wrong. CS is mostly a waste if your goal is to be a practical software engineer, most of the time. Software engineering degrees are far better for that, but not many universities have them
CS is of course an extremely important discipline, and any decent developer needs some CS knowledge to avoid being a mere code monkey, but CS degrees by themselves don't prepare you for a job in software development at most companies, unless it's a high-level research position or a very uncommon niche, or unless the degree incorporates a lot of practical software engineering courses
