It’s not like the CS program is devoid of programming, norb would I say the SWE students are that much better off without outside education. CS is about half theory half practical for core education at least. The difference is you learn why and how which is more beneficial long term. After the first 6 months on the job the difference between the two on programming ability should be about the same with some more optimal solutions found by the CS student if any difference. It’s a pretty short term problem.
