The Two Classes of Software Engineer

In reality, I think there are two classes of “software engineers”; those who understand computer science well enough to do challenging, innovative work, and those who just get by because they’re familiar with a few high-level tools.

For the sake of this article, I’m going to refer to those who’ve taken the time to study in-depth as “computer scientists“, and those who skipped the boring stuff to learn how to deploy a React portfolio as “developers“.

The difference is that people that started on a “computer science” path will have an easier time learning React, Django, Rails, you name it.
