I'm not one to say there is no purpose in having an IT-related degree, but no employees at DEV have one. I'd love to have some folks on the team with a more formal education, but it so happens we haven't found anyone in this camp who has stuck.
And the big tech companies have officially begun relaxing policies they had in place related to degrees.
We definitely seem to be trending away from the importance of formal degrees.

Good to see that a more open minded approach is being taken. However, I think that there needs to be a more progressive approach toward hiring and improving people through something like an apprenticeship.

Oh, I didn't know, what a strange coincidence 😂.
Actually, I had this impression, I also think that the positions at the state level will take longer (always late 😂)
