Computer science studies algorithms, data structures, and operating systems.

Software engineering uses software to solve problems.

The ability to effectively analyze a problem, evaluate different options, and engineer a solution requires the skills taught in the liberal arts.

Interesting @InfoQ write-up of @ericevans0's @ExploreDDD keynote by @ThomasBetts!

"Evans believes there can be good combinations of DDD and AI-oriented software. He said, 'because some parts of a complex system never fit into structured parts of domain models, we throw those over to humans to handle. Maybe we'll have some hard-coded, some human-handled, and a third, LLM-supported category.' "
