Edit: valid criticism of the post is that you have to have a degree to code. That’s bullshit.

Same. I didn't finish even one degree, I'm entirely self taught. I have two prestige positions on my res. Breaking out is incredibly difficult under these circumstances, but once you have one good position that you've held long enough to prove you could do the job, education doesn't matter. You'll probably get at least a phone screening and if you know how to chat with people (not something that comes naturally to everyone), you should likely get a chance to prove yourself in real interviews.

Note: I bombed an interview to an embarrassing degree and got hired by one of the former interviewers when I applied again after leveling up.

As a senior dev who does second round interviews (technical), I certainly ignore education on resumes unless it's an intern or junior position. Experience matters far more to me.
