People don't understand what computer science is. Don't claim you did CS and it didn't teach you to become a developer, that's not what CS is, and I'm surprised that after a bachelor's and master's the author doesn't acknowledge that.

I've always said that doing computer science to be a programmer is like getting a physics degree to be an engineer.

well, computer science should be MUCH more maths heavy than it is, and software development should be taught as a trade.

Up until recently, the vast majority of Computer Science programs were under the Mathematics department. For most colleges even to this day they are still under the Electrical Engineering department.

Ding! Ding! Ding! It's a bit sad that most 'CS degrees are worthless' detractors don't realize this.
