Computer scientists are not developers. They are mathematicians. Some of them write software, but many do not.


While I agree with you, the term "computer science" has not had a consistent definition over the years.

I have a degree in "Computer Science" (1987) but it was not a math program. It would not surprise me to learn today that there are many existing "computer science" programs that are not math degrees.


A very good point, and one which makes the mentioned attitude even more silly.
