I’m your prototypical computer geek - started programming in the mid 80s in middle school in Basic and assembly language, got a CS degree, bit twiddled in C and C++ for over a decade, but my experience over the last decade, makes me doubt the need of most developers to need to focus on computer science.

Most developers will never need to solve “hard problems”. They will be working on yet another software as a service CRUD app or a bespoke line of business app that will never see the light of day outside of their organization.

I’ve found studying architecture, soft skills, and my business courses (before I dropped out of graduate school) to be much more helpful in my career.
