Advanced CS work has more to do with psychology and sociology than science and engineering in my experience.

I agree, but I'd say "software engineering" rather than "CS". It's hard to produce software at scale without herding lots of cats.

Care to elaborate?

  • The problems (or at least the solutions) stop being technical and start being cultural and political pretty quickly.

  • STEM and humanities sit hand in hand nowadays. STEM to turn needs into realities, humanities to effectively manage relationships/expectations across every level of stakeholders.
