Those are not the "software engineers" but coders, those who like to say that the university degree doesn't add anything in programming.

University degrees are not the difference between an engineer and a developer, universities have churned out millions of people who don't care about programming and have no idea what they're doing, who are just following the script with as little effort as possible because they were told it was the easiest way to make a lot of money.

You can get through a Computer Science degree with just a few thousand lines of code if you focus on theory courses.

a small wonder the wunderkinds of computer science were at all capable given their lack of computer science degrees
