I think the author's view on how Computer Scientists is a bit reductive. Not everything is an "optimization problem". While I believe it is true that a good CS major will seek to reduce inneficiencies throughout the company, there is also a lot to be said about "Creative Vision" and actually building innovative things. I think if you are seeking to grow, you probably need this latter quality more than cutting down costs and improving profits type of CEOs. Therefore Marissa Mayer makes a lot of sense. Furthermore I would be seriously interested in seeing how many of the MBA CEOs of fortune 500 tech companies have undergrad tech degrees.
