Sounds great that ‘One can major [i.e. graduate] in computer science and do anything’, doesn’t it? Then again, isn’t this miles away from the view of computing as a training ground for programmers and system builders? The good news is that one doesn’t necessarily need to exclude the other! The grand vision behind this quote is that learning to program, build large systems, and so on, allows you to develop something which is much more valuable than any of these on their own, namely the ability to think like a computer scientist. Over the past decade or so, Jeannette Wing has been popularising this view under the banner of computational thinking.
