Being an upper level student in a Computing Science major, This article definitely resonates with me. It's not easy and it demands a lot of time from you - but it's so worth it when you see all your hard work and knowledge come together.
The most important aspect was the mention of learning how to learn - as a CS, we're not taught all the languages and frameworks but instead we have the skillet to learn any of those. That's the easy part. The hard part is the software design/implementation which this article heavily talks on.

It's hard to tell myself to focus on a class that's about a language we tell ourselves we'll never use! And we might not. But the skills we learn while learning that language (or framework, or anything) will help down the line when we have to learn again.
