<p>I have two degrees in CS (1970s B.Sc. and 1990s M.Sc.) and have worked as a software engineer for going on four decades. We even used punch cards when I was an undergrad. I haven’t bothered to keep up with this thread consistently. A lot of it strikes me as beyond silly. But I’ll chime in to say that I line up with the algorithms and Knuth party.</p>
<p>On the original question, I’m not convinced that the US is creating too few CS graduates when employers like mine continue to move software development jobs to lower-wage foreign acquisitions or outsourcers.</p>
