@zrail @thomasfuchs definitely. But most people in computing have almost zero exposure to actual computer science.
Meanwhile, yes, my degree was in Computer Engineering, in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at UMich's College of Engineering. I practiced real software engineering, at UMich, at JPL writing software for the Space Shuttle, and elsewhere. But I'm also just a hacker at heart.

@zrail @thomasfuchs I see a lot of actual computer science happening in programming language design. I find most of that stuff deadly boring.
