"knowledge is the cheapest thing".
In 2-4 years, all the knowledge you learnt became fade or out of time. And you need to relearn or learn new thing suitable for present time. Sometime, when you take new job that process will come sooner, maybe months after you graduated. So with or without degree doesn't make any different, you still need to keep charge your brain with new techs. I think a degree maybe have its place at some companies that require it to reduce the number of resume for first round of recruitment time.
It just seems that new frameworks and "new technologies" are just reinvented all the time for no real reason. In web development the plethora of frameworks and languages for both front and backend don't really serve a great need. We just follow the whims of major companies vying for the developer mindshare and I'm not sure we're actually building products better, faster or cheaper.
We just follow fashion.
That being said there's a lot of underlying knowledge that gets reused. I haven't seen many new ideas in the last 20 years.. just rehashes of old ones.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

I consider this a major flaw in the industry.
