My intro to CS course had zero assigned readings. Absolutely no reading was given. No student came out with any foundational insight other than the white boomer professors incoherent rambling about how CS is not like math.

Our most complicated problem in that course was opening a file and writing the contents of a nested list into it in Python. Nothing else was taught so its not like anybody could come out from that course and actually program anything (not to mind the professor endorsing chatgpt use while also forbidding its use for assignments which were just writing code solutions to problems that boil down to a map and filter transformation)

My older siblings who now is employed by Amazon had to teach themselves network programming after they were hired to do what is essentially toilet plumbing for AWS.

CS is a joke fucking field and most of these numbskulls actively enjoy it being simultaneously elitist and washed down. Zero materialist thought too, talking to these clowns youd think computers grow on trees or something.
