Wow there is actually somebody working right round the corner of me!

It baffles me that recruitment still works using this as a requirement. A CS graduate will never know any of these besides basic intro to C, C++, html, css,  databases,  and basic hardware-software theory... without self learning and practice.

I've never sat in a cs class for a second and I will be bored to death learning these stuff in lectures. I learnt them beyond the syllables years back on my own at a much quicker pase.

You become experienced and skilled when you're passionate about it.  Its how I started from being curious about how software is made to a full stack generalist... knowing more stack than the above requirements.

You want skills not pedigree.

Sure it will, it is a matter of university quality.

During my 5 year degree, we got to learn about C++, Prolog, Caml Light and SML, x86 and MIPS Assembly, Pascal, PL/SQL, Java, Smalltalk.

Those that took compiler design, also had a look into Algol, Concurrent C, Oberon, Modula-3, Eiffel, Lisp.

We had access to DG/UX, Aix, GNU/Linux, Mac System 7 and Windows as OSes.

Additionally we got all the layers of OS development, from drivers to graphics programming, distributed computing using PWM and MPI, web design, architecture, algorithms and data structures, calculus, linear algebra among many other concepts.

Each area required projects to be delivered during each semester and final examination.

Sure many can self learn some of those themes, but it requires a big discipline to keep the rhythm.

CS isnt about the languages themselves, that is trivial. Basically covered in the first or second semester.

Sure, imperative languages are all mostly the same, and easy to learn once you know the basics (C++ being an exception).  Learning frameworks takes time, but there are too many frameworks for anyone to master, and they are quickly outdated.

So the only knowledgebase that isnt getting outdated are the models from CS.
