idk man, a CS degree isn’t about memorizing frameworks or whatever’s hot this month it’s about learning how to think. like… how to break a problem down, reason about complexity, make tradeoffs, all that stuff.

Bootcamp grads are building production apps and shipping features while CS grads are still arguing about Big O notation they'll never use in their actual job

Sad but its true, but when it comes to theoretical knowledge, the CS grads take the lead

50% of software engineering is about architecting the system, a rare skill bootcamp devs often lack because they mostly implement already engineered systems
