That's weird. The reverse would make more sense. Math is an actual study. CS is definitely not a science--unless opinions and bad statistics count as science these days?

I am in complete agreement, but that’s not the way companies interview. It’s a CS world. Strange because many used to regard a CS degree like a consolation prize if you couldn’t RTFM.

I wonder if this is a valley thing? I'm in flyover country, and it's pretty much engineering, physics, mathematics, or bust.
