This seems to broadly conflate CS and Software Engineering. The differences have been covered elsewhere. Stuff like cognitive vs. physical science, (mostly) thinking about thinking instead of thinking about things, or quotes like "A computer is to computer science as a telescope is too astronomy." To be fair, the fact that a lot of us got CS degrees, but really ended up doing software development probably doesn't help clarify matters. The university I went to had a separate degree for Software Engineering and, frankly, it looked pretty boring to me. Even though I was a full-on coder before I got there. Perhaps there is no hope?
