Computer Science is not only about koding, but more!!

Most of us are confused (including me) that the computer science domain is one hundred percent involved with coding and that is the core element for a job in IT. I can surely say that it is just a myth and there are multiple jobs out there for the people with computer knowledge, who are even code-haters.

I can discuss a few jobs here that have low-code or no-code in the roles and responsibilities of the candidate.
