My biggest pet peeve is the use of term computer science as something you get knowledge of from coding.
The latest Gödel Prize award for computer science was awarded for
"their constructive proof of the Lovász Local Lemma".
How many of the self proclaimed computer scientist would be able to read the math formulas Cynthia Dwork (latest Knuth Prize winner) wrote in her paper The Algorithmic Foundations of Differential Privacy?
That's what you get from a Computer Science degree.
How many of those theorems became understandable to someone just from coding? You have to hit the books, the CS-books.
It's like someone saying they know law because they know english, and english is what is used in the end.

Sorry for the rant.
