<p>^^^What if you have to use a class that is thousands of lines long? Should I waste company time by making sure I understand exactly how all that code works? Also, a lot of CS majors end up being “programmers” in some respect. What is important is not the code itself, but whether or not it meets its purpose. It seems that your problem solving ability is most imporant, not whether you have memorized primitive code and languages. Classes in algorithms, data structures, math classes, etc. are much more useful in this regard.</p>
