Comment on Self-Taught Developers: Are You Missing Your Foundation?parent

Exactly.

My university's CS department had just enough "time" to skim over the big topics (one database class, really??) while we ran around trying to please non-CS profs in classes that weren't really necessary for me (two chem classes and physics).

I'm all for general knowledge, but if I need to know anything about chemistry (which I haven't yet in my role as a web dev), then I can go learn it, or change my major and focus on it.
