    …then don’t study computer science. I study CS and it’s annoying when someone in a more math/logic oriented course is like “If I get a job at a tech company I won’t need this”. All that IS computer science, if you just wanna code, learn to code.

      The problem is a lot of people who want to learn to code, and are conditioned to desire the college route of education, don’t actually know that there is a difference and that you can be completely self-taught in the field without ever stepping foot in a university.

      I would have done CS if every math class at my school didn’t have 500 people in it. Even college algebra. They basically made everything a weed-out class

      I do think many of the CS concepts are pretty cool :)
