I see this trope trotted out so often with nothing to back it up that I can't help but wonder if there isn't a hidden agenda behind it:
"The best devs I've ever worked with didn't have a CS degree"
"The best devs I've ever worked with didn't have a degree in anything"
"The best devs I've ever worked with had no prior experience"
"The best devs I've ever worked with were drug addicts I found at the methadone clinic"
"The best devs I've ever worked with were wild bushmen in the jungles of Africa who had never encountered any technology more complex than flint and tinder"
"The best devs I've ever worked with didn't have a CS degree"
