> These usually are the worst "programmers", in my experience. And I was one as I didn't go to CS school and was mostly self-taught. Lacking the basics of CS, you are just a code monkey.

That's the type of condescending, discriminatory bias that having a degree affords, I guess.

They used was several times, past tense, indicating they potentially do have a degree now; if not, their prose sounded snobbish to me either way, hence my comment.
