/sci/ - Science & Math

That's how it usually is. CS should be taught as a branch of Mathematics and the theory of computation is a really intriguing subject. Blame the media and the silicon valley millionaires that heavily influenced how is CS viewed by the average person. They have no notion of algorithms and the underlying mechanisms behind the modern technology. The consumer only cares about the end product. Because of how popular it became, the subject was heavily dumbed down, and now even web-development is considered as "serious" CS, and if you know how to search on google for how to resolve techical problems you are considered "computer-savy".
Also, I can't describe how insuportable are people that think they are "professional coders" just because they know how to code a little in python or java. They learn it without understanding the fundamental concepts, and are no better than parrots.
