[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you pay attention to this nonsense?  You need a degree to even do basic work now.  [/quote]

+1. This is clickbait nonsense from people who [i]at best[/i] just want to get in the news, and more likely have motives that aren't in your favor. Ignore. [/quote]

Look…there is some truth to the article in that many tech companies don’t care how you became a top, AI-native SWE.

However, it gives the impression that those kids don’t have skills which of course is far from the truth.  They usually have top 1% skills…they aren’t just your typical HS grad looking for a job.[/quote]

I was in college in the late 90s when a bunch of self-taught CS majors were dropping out to go work for Pixar or AskJeeves or Google. Some of them made good with stock options but most got screwed when the endless rounds of tech layoffs left them job searching without a degree.

People highlight the improbable success stories and ignore the numerous bodies left along the way. [/quote]
