I've never understood the whole thing about CS foundations...

For the most part you're never discovering new datastructures, the rest of it is just knowing which data structure to pick, 50/50 dictionary/arrays, once in a while a set, and use a tree every year or two.

Even then if it's an esoteric data structure you'll still use an off the shelf implementation.

Even in data science it's mostly off the shelf R packages.

Most people don't need to invent new structures. They do need to know how to think about computers and what the typical data structures are.

Just that is not a small thing.
