I knew how to code before going to the university to get a CS degree. Formal education taught me a lot more about the field than just coding. I wouldn't hire a person without a degree.

This is a pretty serious line in the sand. My company has definitely hired many people without CS degrees (myself included). What field do you work in?

The problem when you don't have a formal education is that you don't know what you don't know. A degree is definitely worth it.
