One related problem I see is that Computer Science tends to be under-estimated by other engineering fields. A ton of software engineers did not study software. They learned to program as part of their engineering studies, and they believe that they learned both Computer Science and their engineering topic at the same time.

I may be biased, but I see fewer computer scientists pretend to be mechanical engineers because they once tuned a PID.

If Bachelor of Science computer science grads were that much more extraordinary, they wouldnt be working side by side with non-degreed programmers.

Chem Engineer here, I wrote random forest once. My coworker with a CS degree, all front end work.

My mistake. If you wrote a random forest once, it certainly means that you should be the CTO of Google. And that chem engineers are all smarter than computer scientists.
