Since when did a college degree become a requirement for programming, or indicate a higher quality of programmer? I know CS graduates who have no ability to program. Half of these big companies have been started by dropouts, and the oldest ones were started when there was no such thing as a CS degree.

The fact that a CS degree is neither necessary nor sufficient for being a good programmer does not mean it is a worthless data point.

I'd say overwhelming evidence points to the exact contrary.

Sounds like you've found a great indicator of skill then - "does not have a CS degree."

More like "possession of CS degree has no bearing whatsoever on skill, so ignore it."
