@profoundlynerdy@mastodon.technology I'd say a degree that is a 4 years bachlors in programming would put you ahead of a boot campl or self-taught programmer by about 2 years. Its entirely equivalent to 2 years of expiernce.

So while a degree does give you an edge, particularly in your first few years and especially when looking for your very first job.... beyond that it wont do much for you.
