I agree that CS degree is not necessary to perform most software development jobs out there (I myself have no degree and am doing just fine). That said, your trying to turn it into an advantage is completely misplaced. There are tons of CS graduates with great interpersonal skills or graphic design skills or what have you and I can guarantee you they're better at their job than you (or me for that matter) currently are.
Also, having been in the industry for a long time, I've studied some of the CS stuff on my own (mostly just basics TBH) and I can tell you it makes a great difference. It's the kind of knowledge that bootcamp doesn't give you. So to all the people without CS degree, don't just be content with learning how to program. Learn principles of computers, of operating systems, learn about automata and grammars, learn about algorithms and so on.
