Or do both! I always cringe when I meet good programmers that have no understanding of what is going on at the hardware level.

Because knowing the hardware is, of course, essential to make a well-functioning CRUD app.
If the goal of a CS course is to teach how to make a well-functioning CRUD app, I despair!
If the goal of a CS course is to in any way make you reliant on hardware or even physics, I despair.
What use is physics when you have an infinite tape?

CRUD apps are bread and butter, essential, but unhealthy foods.

A physics degree can get you a mid-six-figure job as a quant on Wall Street.
Does "mid-six-figure" mean $550k (midpoint of the six-figure range), $300k (ditto but using the geometric mean), or $150k (midpoint of the $100k-$200k range)?
(My impression is that $150k is a plausible entry-level quant salary, but it seems a bit strange to describe that as "mid-six-figure".)

But the people writing the CRUD apps get that too.
What's a 'mid-six-figure'? 150000? 500000?
