    That’s the difference between a programmer and a computer scientist, but even I (a computer scientist) I’m not an expert in hardware, networking, or OS level operations because that’s not my daily focus.

      I compare my career to the medical field. Sure there are some crossovers but lots of specialties.

      Would you consult a dentist about your bowel movements?
