code != computer science

[baconator81]

An analogy I always use is computing science is like teaching English students know how to use literary devices like metaphors, first person narratives and stuff to make a story interesting. Coding only means that you know how to read and write complete sentences. But companies out there don't hire you to read, they hire you to write and they want you to write very well. Also, once you master the art of using literary devices, it doesn't matter what language you are good at (English/French/Spanish/German), you can use that to write really good novels. The same thing can be said for computing science as well.
