I've had occasion to sit on the hiring side of the table. My primary qualifier when my wishlist isn't immediately met is to evaluate the candidate's willingness to learn and how their different path to "developer" can be an asset to the team.

"You're not worth hiring if you can't/don't have..." smells like dogma rearing it's ugly, prejudiced head again in an industry that changes stack and talent approaches faster than Streisand did her concert wardrobe. Get over yourselves.
