Why would being a "programmer" necessitate a CS degree? One of the main things I've learned in my 26+ years of programming is that CS grads are usually the most incompetent programmers (with a few exceptions, of course) and a long running joke in programming forums/communities. I tend to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but with CS grads I've seen far too much nonsense for far too long to deny the infection.
It doesn’t it was meant to be partly sarcastic because it is a well known fact that you can get hired even without a computer science degree. And this is quite apparent if you are active on Twitter because so many people have shared their stories and journeys on there after changing career.

My apologies.
