This is the type of nonsense that I’m talking about when I say that you all should “ignore everybody” (who isn’t encouraging you) when you are pursuing a goal. There are people out there that will go out of their way to discourage you spewing out “statistical facts” that they’ve pulled out of their 🍑 for the sole purpose of gatekeeping.
Why? Because they’re worried that if more people enter the field, they might get pushed out.
This person ended up deleting their comment but I think that it’s an important topic to address so I’m reposting it here.
And to all my fellow no comp sci degree nerds out there, I work as a SWE at one of the largest tech companies in Japan. I don’t have a computer science degree. I’ve worked with many SWEs that don’t have a comp sci degree. I’m not belittling the degree.
If you have one, I think that’s great. But for those of you that don’t, don’t feel like you’re going to have an extra hard time because of it. For most companies, once you land the interview, all that matters is leetcode, degree or not.
