Why is he mixing computer science with programming? Computer science is just a branch of mathematics. It has not much to do with what he talks about afterwards.

Computer science is to programming as physics is to engineering. The way SOME programmers constantly put down computer science, especially academic computer science, is a sign of the anti-professionalism in the field. (I decided I better emphasize some programmers since they actually seem to be a very vocal minority.)
