    What kind of cs degree did you get where you learned about electrical circuits. The closest to hardware I’ve learned is logic circuit diagrams and verilog.

      I mean, I graduated over 20 years ago now, but I had to take a number of EE courses for my CS major. Guess that isn’t a thing now, or in a lot of places? Just assumed some level of EE knowledge was required for a CS degree this whole time.

        I got my BS in CSci about 15 years ago and it was 100% about programming in java. We didn’t learn a fucking thing about hardware and my roommate was an EE major and we had none of the same classes except for calculus.

        By the time I graduated java was basically dead. Thanks state college.

      In my own uni’s coursework the closest we get are some labs where students breadboard some simple adder circuits, which we do just to save them from embarassing gaps in their knowledge (like happened in the inital comment). It doesn’t add much beyond a slightly better understanding of how things can be implemented, if we’re being honest.
