"Many people think a CS degree is just programming or something,"
"Obviously, just being a competent mid-level programmer is not going to be a career for much longer, because AI can do that."
"There's a lot more to coding than writing the code,"
"Computer science is a wonderful major to learn systems thinking."
AI is automating many routine programming tasks, reducing the long-term career prospects for mid-level programmers. Computer science degrees teach systems thinking, problem-solving, and conceptual foundations that extend beyond writing code. Those broader skills maintain the degree's value despite shifts in the job market. CS curricula should adapt to emphasize the science of solving problems and interdisciplinary applications. Job opportunities for CS graduates are shifting away from traditional large tech firms toward roles at the intersection of computing and other fields. Industry leaders continue to view CS education as important amid agentic AI advances.
