The fact that most universities will graduate CS majors without ever teaching them how to use a debugger, build system, or version control system shows how useful they are to actual engineering work.

The problem isn't the CS curriculum, it's people getting a CS degree when what they (and employers) want is some kind of Software Engineering degree.

Computer Science teaches the foundational math and science of computation, and in that respect I found it to be very useful and informative. I don't really need to know how to use Visual Studio to prove the limit of K for some algorithm.

Besides, there are so many tools out there that we might as well just learn them on the job anyway.

I had recent cs grads in my bootcamp with me.
