I'm curious how you'd regard someone with the following on their resume: 1. a decade of military service,
2. a link to a healthy portfolio on github,
3. A couple of years of professional experience as a developer,
3. but only a 2-year degree or coursework for a CS degree. I'm not in the market, just curious as I weigh my options for continuing school. |

The github portfolio can be really important. Especially if it contains a lot of really good looking stuff and represents lots of self improvement. I'll almost always pause to check out somebody's "portfolio" if they stick it on their resume. It provides me with far more info than just the resume format can.
Nothing wrong with 2 year degrees. It demonstrates being able to finish something, even if it's boring core coursework. Either way I'll usually ask if they want to go back to school, or finish it up. The answers are often helpful.
("I'm too smart for what they're teaching me" is never a good answer to that question btw)
But by all means, put it down there or I don't know about it.
