For all intents and purposes, CS is a kind of math, it's just a different flavor than, say, differential equations. The amount you need to know to get a job is just pretty low compared to the depth available for study.

If the amount I need to know to get a job is not as that available for study, then that is a great relief. Thanks

Yes. I’ve been working in SV for 6 years. I’m more formally educated than your average coder, and still, when I open most CS whitepapers I just see hieroglyphics.
