Of course, computer programming, system administration and computer science isn't useless. That thing named IT nowdays is mostly useless. The result you could easily see literally right now. Take a look how much memory and CPU/GPU your browser eating just to show page you are reading now with simple text and some images.
Do you understand that nowdays meaning of "IT" is very far from what IT was a decade ago?
Typical conversation:
Are you IT specialist?
Hell, no way! I'm programmer, I know how hardware works.
"IT" today is modern hipster languages, bloatware frameworks, something they name "platforms", CD/CI (in Russian it named "bang-bang and into production"), rewriting for the sake of rewriting, upgrading for the sake of upgrading, and all that crap.
Result you see right now as your GB/GHz eating browser with a single long page with few distant pictures and some
curtailed text with megabytes of JS frameworks on the top.
Yeah, very confused. Programmers do less hardware than IT guys.
in Russian it named "bang-bang and into production"
Maybe that's what it is in Russia and that's why it sounds so weird to me. Here IT is all networking. There isn't necessarily any coding at all and it's separate from web design. What I call an IT guy didn't cause inefficient webpages
By that standard IT isn't useless
