One point to note. The more prestigious the school the more mathematics is thought in my experience. In my school the comp sci-major had more math lectures than the physics students (and better grades, as physics where becoming unpopular putting a higher bar on the comp. sci entry grades).
In my school you had a class for 6 months: introduction to programming, that's it! The rest of the 5 years where basically only math/algorithms (machine learning, statistics, probability, compiler algorithms and such).
I've heard that this is changing as the industry values practical programming experience, but boy would I've been pissed if I'd spent 5 years to learn ancient tech.
I'm quite pissed about people getting a comp. sci. degree from knowing some C++, HTML5 and bubble-sort nowadays from shabby universities. Get of my lawn!
Nice. Although it seems to be a lot of shower thoughts without drawing any hard lines in the sand. Exactly the kind of things I don't want in my documentation.
You will sooner or later have to have an opinion about things. If those are trivial then nothing will be taught.
