Basically, we should only learn the 'real' programming skills and forget that the whole state of computing technology rests on the shoulder of giants who created these algorithms and did all this research for 'real programmers'. Oh, we certainly don't need CS, because it gets in the way of writing code.

Seriously, I understand what the author is trying to convey, but IMHO he goes too far on the bias against CS. It is a serious handicap to program anything worthwhile and using APIs and frameworks without understanding (at least to some degree) what they do ... my .2 cents
