ThisIsJoFrank I don't have a CS degree (technically? I got a major in information technology), and I don't think one is *technically* necessary. That said, there's a stark difference between people who've been through a 4-year STEM program and those who haven't.

ThisIsJoFrank The program teaches how to solve problems, think critically, and learn without hand-holding. The canyon between people without degrees and people with them in those aspects is extremely large. Finding someone who excels at those and hasn't gotten a degree is vanishingly rare.
