I'm sorry, do you think that someone who can only write front end components and someone who can architect and implement an entire system end-to-end are the same? Of course the ones who have limited knowledge and ability are the "lesser" ones... they get paid as such also. Or is this now discrimination?
My comment may be mean to people who don't have degrees in CS, but I would argue the entire article is mean to everyone who does. Saying that it's awesome to not have a degree because you can make up for that in bootcamps, one, it's generally false, as the only way to make up for lack of 4 years of formal education is 4 years of informal education (can't do it in 9 months), and if you spend 4 years doing bootcamps to make up for it, may as well get a degree (the cost will be similar too), two, it tries to devalue a CS degree so when anyone who's considering one reads it, they may believe they're actually better off without one, and consequently, not get it, and three, how can you know the value of a CS degree if you don't have one?! It's like me saying a PhD in CS is worthless, but I only have MSc.
