I'm a self-taught Senior Engineer doing this professionally for the past 10 years. I've never taken a single course in Computer Science and dropped out of business school to start my own. Amazingly, some of my work has been used by universities, 20 million have watched my Programming YouTube channel and 50k+ have signed up for my online courses.

Most companies don't have a hardline requirement for having a degree anymore, but if they do, even for management, I'll do my best to avoid them.

Last thing, I started coding at 28.
