Comment on Ask HN: Is it possible to get a job in CS without a degree?

Comments

Assuming by "job in CS" you mean "job developing software", of course you can, and many people have - I am one of them, and I have met many others over the 33 years of my career so far.

You need something that will give you credibility and get you in the door, and for most people that's a degree. If you can find some other way of getting practical work experience onto your resume, you can get hired without one, and after a few more years nobody will care at all how you got into the field.
