I'm the CTO of international video agency Wooshii and I run an educational media brand called Skill Pathway. I also occasionally chat to people on my podcast, The Learning Developers Podcast.
This is a great insight now. This is just the way the world works now. Particularly when someone hates their day job and is able to learn a tech skill and feel like they have the ability to build something, people are more hungry and motivated than ever to do what it takes to get an opportunity with a tech company.
It would be very ignorant to ignore these types of people simply because of the romantic viewpoint on what a "degree" means. It's an early 2000s opinion being forced into a 2019 world where it's just not the case anymore.
Thanks so much for your input!
