I Took Computer Science College “That Way”. Now What?
summary
A reflective talk about how core computer-science topics (algorithms, graph theory, data structures, and fundamentals behind frameworks) are essential for software developers who neglected those courses in college. It highlights practical problems—like route finding used by apps such as Waze, web system efficiency, and what to do when a framework won’t suffice—and argues learning the underlying theory enables building efficient code and even custom frameworks.
