A Computer Science degree is not meant to teach you HTML, CSS, or how to write React components—these are things an average 14-year-old can learn from YouTube or a coding bootcamp. You didn’t score an A to be taught HTML or React.
The purpose of a CS degree is to introduce students to the fundamental principles of computing, algorithms, data structures, and programming paradigms, often through languages like C or C++. These languages enforce an understanding of memory management, efficiency, and problem-solving—skills that apply universally across all programming disciplines.
Universities are not training grounds for specific frameworks or tools that change every few years; they are meant to shape problem-solvers who can adapt to any technology. If you went to university expecting to be taught React or Vue, you misunderstood the purpose of a CS degree.
Those are things you pick up along the way, but the real value of your education is in mastering the science behind computing.
