    LOL, this meme has two layers, as they say “real sciences don’t need “science” suffix in the name”

      They really love to have it both ways. ‘Oh, I’m a scientist, not some antiintellectual engineer’ and ‘Here’s why I’m an engineer even without a license, I’m not some poor lab rat academic’

      Computer science and programming are two different things. Computer science started as a branch of mathematics, looking into calculability: what problems can a computer even solve. I had a course on algorithms by a professor that had never programmed a line of code in his life, everything he did was in pseudocode.
