I am sure there are professional home builders/construction workers/house flippers who never went to college. I bet one can learn building house from youtube.
yet there are Architect/civil engineering degrees and large engineering firms that design and build skyscrapers/bridges/industrial facilities that require quite a bit of formal training.
both of these engineering subtypes can coexist, same in software

As someone without a CS degree, I was quite happy I could use a week worth of algorithms training / practice to prove my suitability for the industry, rather than have to go through a whole formal degree in CS.
But then again this is the same logic that gave us google doc coding interviews so I'm not sure why I'm expecting anything at all ...
