Of course, the first thing I noticed reading this is that Computer Scientists are really clever when it comes to acronyms. Coming into this article, I didn't really know there was a difference between Software Engineering and Computer Science, but now I see that SE is what I've been looking for. I’m not a fan of running numbers for the sake of running numbers, honestly, and I feel like half of the discipline is learning things that other people have already discovered. Software Engineering is learning to apply those theories we were taught. I have to wonder why a class like this is so late in the CS curriculum, but I believe I will probably change my tune after seeing how much work there is to be done.
