> CS graduate won't be doing tasks that they learnt to do in their degrees

how is that different from the previous decade(s)? How often do you invert a redblack tree in your daily programming/engineering job?

A CS degree is a degree for thinking computationally, using mathematics as a basis. It's got some science too (aka, use evidence and falsifiability to work out truths and not rely on pure intuition). It's got some critical thinking attached, if your university is any good at making undergraduate courses.

A CS degree is not a boot camp, nor is it meant to make you ready for a job. While i did learn how to use git at uni, it was never required nor asked - it was purely my own curiosity, which a CS degree is meant to foster.

The original comment advised people to enroll in CS to capture the potential shortage of CS grads in the workforce. You’re saying no people shouldn’t be doing CS to make themselves ready for a job. The comment you replied to also takes a similar stance, ie no CS doesn’t make people ready for a job.

You might think you’re disagreeing with the parent comment but in fact you’re disagreeing with the top level comment.
