Now, that's not strictly true, but the fact that we've accepted more non-CS grads, or non-grads than CS grads I think says something about the state of our CS education.

It is a broad field, no one can be expected to know everything; this is true of any field. However, what is found in a few YouTubes and a devbootcamp is not, in my view, something that will carry large percentage a of people through a bubble or saturation.

These discussions are a little awkward as well because anyone that is in the pool of autodidacts is quick to defend themselves. The issue is not "Can one be in the top of the field of programming/CS without a CS degree?" This is very different question; actually I think a good foundation in computer science or mathematics would help people, greatly, in realizing that these are separate issues!
