jfc CS really is a meme.

>anyone who completes the book will know the subject better than 99.95% of CS majors
is this true?

You've obviously have met many CS majors.

>1. CS majors can program unlike math majors.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no.

>>9799910
Because any STEM major can learn how to code monkey and BigOh on the job.

Meanwhile after 4 year of supposedly learning it, 99.5% of cs majors can't fizzbuzz.

>I don't get it, are they good programmers?

No, they just want 100k starting.

Is it any good?

>>9691206
Only cslets think it's good.

Why do you waste our time with lies? If you think you're being humorous, you're not.

>>9623943
CS majors are retards. CE is CS before it was watered down to hell.

>this strawman again

Math majors and physics majors don't take coding classes. If they don't care enough to spend time learning how to program, their code is going to stick. This does not mean they can't be good nor CS majors are super special elites for mastering the mysterious art of fizzbuzz. A math major that spent the time to get good at programming is always better than a cs major.

That said, CS majors as a group somehow manage to write horrible code when they don't have an excuse to explain it away.

>Most of the programs will teach you how to code, how networking works, a bit about informatics, and a bit about hardware. For the most part, however, it teaches you skills that you can then apply to a job, not methods you can use to design or deduce.

That's what they try but most cs kids come out with terrible coding skills. The "99.5% can't Fizzbuzz" is not an exaggeration. You can only get good at programming if you willfully practice and most cs kids just don't give a fuck. All they want is the easy job with 100k starting and they want to do the least amount of work to get it. So they get an easy cs degree rather than put effort and follow through into building a portfolio to get a foot in the door.

>programming is no longer seen as this sort of enigmatic, difficult skill

It never was.

>implying you need a CS degree to get a CS job

CS majors are well known for being brainlets that can't even fizzbuzz
