I don't even go that's far. I "work in IT". Enough for 99% of social interactions / official forms.

You’re taking my comment a little too seriously. I just know that what I do is essentially playing with other people’s legos, to make a CRUD app, to show my industry’s equivalent of cat pictures. I leave the heavy math and theory to the real computer scientists.

sounds reasonable to me! why reinvent the wheel right?

Scientists research. Engineers do. We are the more practical of the two.

Also, any CompSci grad I've worked with couldn't write code for shit unless they learned how outside of their schooling, and yet so many go the CompSci -> programmer route instead of doing like SW Eng or something like that.

Damn, that sounds pretty bad.

We had tons of math and theoretical work too, but we also programmed a fair amount: We had to write a renderer in one class, a compiler in another, various Android apps in a third, and in one elective I took we wrote a micro kernel OS as well.

It's not like the CS program is devoid of programming, norb would I say the SWE students are that much better off without outside education. CS is about half theory half practical for core education at least. The difference is you learn why and how which is more beneficial long term. After the first 6 months on the job the difference between the two on programming ability should be about the same with some more optimal solutions found by the CS student if any difference. It's a pretty short term problem.
