Although computer science was formerly a part of mathematics, it has become a profession of its own right. Of course there are still strong connections on many levels. But there is a lot in mathematics which is (currently) completely uninteresting for computer science, and vice versa.
In particular, there is part of computer science which has nothing to do with mathematics, and which a mathematician would always attribute to computer science rather than mathematics.
And that part is call "programming".
So I disagree. Sole programing without bullshit and without mathematics is still a profession of its own right.
