This is the direction things have been going in Sweden over the last 15 years, but I think it’s a shame and a waste of human potential.

Why would you need a university CS degree to do UX design and write some JavaScript? There should be other degrees for that to be honest.

I’m hoping this trend will now reverse and “real” software engineers will reclaim their profession, despite now being in the “minority”.

Personally I’ve started calling myself a “deep tech software engineering entrepreneur” to try and distance myself from this “majority” of overeducated JavaScript fiddlers.

Vad...? I would have no idea what you intend by calling yourself that if I hadn't read your comment.

What's the problem with having a computer science education and writing JS? There are ample situations to utilize CS in browser code.
