The tech world has changed-and so has the path to becoming a programmer.
Today, many successful developers are:
Self-taught
Boot camp graduates
Career switchers
They prove that projects, problem-solving skills, and consistency can open doors without a formal CS degree.
However, a Computer Science degree still offers:
Strong foundations (DSA, OS, networking)
Structured learning paths
Easier entry into some traditional companies
So, what’s the truth?
A CS degree is helpful, but it’s no longer mandatory.
In modern development:
Skills + Projects + Learning mindset > Degree alone
What’s your journey?
Are you self-taught, degree-holder, or somewhere in between?
