These are the most cited papers in computer science

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/stats/articles

They don't all seem like trivial code monkey shit

Did /sci/ lie to me?

The most cited papers in a field aren't typically what's covered in a bachelor's degree.

>> No.8560762

>>8560742

part of CLRS is typically covered in an intro algorithms class.

>> No.8560780

it's because nobody knows what computer science is

the people who are super psyched about going into computer science and becoming professional javascript programmers have no clue what computer science is; they think it's just how to program or some shit

universities DO know what it is, but they adjusted their curriculum to cater to the less inclined crowd (aka javascript monkeys), and pass off programming 101 as "computer science"
many of the javascript monkeys drop out because computer science isn't the art class they thought it would be

because of the above, those who don't know what computer science is get a bad impression because there's so many object oriented social justice losers on the surface and it makes the whole field look bad

and it's obvious that the most cited papers are going to be actual computer science papers - nobody is going to cite java for dummies

>> No.8562693

>>8562683
I'm a cs major that didn't get buttblasted, but there's a lot of material in clrs that is far from trivial. Again, you should read it, because it's kinda shameful to not have taken an introductory course to algorithms

Short answer is yes.

"CS is trivial and only related to code monkeys" is a /sci/ meme. Of course there are plenty of code monkeys that just edit html code and copypaste from stack overflow yet call themselves "engineer", " "computer/data scientists" and so on but they are not the ones that get the shit done.
"CS is for code monkeys" is like saying "fluid mechanics is for plumbers", "botanic is for farmers" or "mathematics are for cashiers".

Saying you learn advanced theory in a CS major is like saying you learn fluid mechanics in a plumbing trade school.
