One of my most memorable classes was Introduction to Algorithms.
Not because I have ever needed to implement a linked list, but because
it opened my eyes to a much larger field of knowledge than just
knowing language syntax.
I went into the class wondering what could I possibly learn? I left

Kerby, I am curious about the pedagogy of introducing two distinct concepts
at the same time like that. Care to elaborate?
I'm trying not to be critical, I am not qualified ;)

I am a little surprised to hear JN defaults to Python 2. Or maybe this is a

I think teaching python v2 will be more confusing, and less useful than
learning v3.
I know enough people using v3 professionally that I wouldn't shy away from

I pretty much disagree with your conclusion about "what is said. .. CS is
not Math" and all the conclusions and predictions.
Math classes and math teachers are not going to be replaced by anything.
