I did 5 years of heavy CS. Never graduated.

The most important things I got were: state machines, appreciation for high level math.

Oh and an intuitive understanding of modeling and translating fuzzy things into easily modelable things. That part is super important.

And an intuitive understanding of how tiny spec changes turn problems from computationally unsolvable to trivial.

But what have the Romans ever done for us?
