!dev Why do non-tech people assume that CompSci devs won't have any trouble getting a job and that it's a rare skillset...? Complete misconception. lol

@whimsical No need for comments like that.

@jestdotty o.o

it was true before covid

@whimsical it means computer science you gouda

@whimsical It's a theoretical programmer. They learn about algorithms that solve specific problems very efficiently - but essentially, it's just a flavour of a math degree instead of having anything to do with programming. Making it pretty useless in any real dev environment - except when you refactor the whole code base to get it to go faster but in reality or your data is in a remote DB so the fact you can now run something at 0.001s instead of 1s is irrelevant.
