What's your point? You can make that argument for almost any degree. The discussion was whether or not OP would LEARN anything from a CS degree since they've already been employed as a software dev. The answer is a resounding yes.

This is bog standard stuff for any school, not "top 3". Working in software doesn't mean you know jack shit about anything. I also notice calc 2 or 3 isn't included in the list.
