Some people get all worked up about computer science. I can understand to some extent - I am very into computers. But I see computers as tools to accomplish tasks, not as tasks unto themselves.
Though sometimes subjects such as compilers, etc. catch my attention, I am predominantly interested in solving problems. As I use computers a lot, these problems are often computer-based. So, I write programs and websites to fix these problems. During the course of writing these programs and websites, I find things in programming languages, database techniques, etc. that can be improved.
Thus, my goal is not computer science itself, but improving things. And computer science is a means to that end.
