No. Very little of a CS degree is &quot;coding&quot; - CS is so much more than that. It&#x27;s even beyond &quot;engineering&quot;.<p>A proper CS degree teaches you how to <i>think</i>, how to solve insanely hard problems, and how to do so with a team of other smart people - often with different personalities.<p>What separates CS from other degrees is that it does filter out those without the horsepower or fortitude on both the quant side (algorithms) and the creative side (systems, architecture).<p>That means, that even if the SV bubble crashes, CS majors are the best equipped to handle whatever career is hot next - any hiring manager at Goldman, McKinsey, or F500 company X will tell you the same.
