I think we'll start seeing a trend where students, especially at STEM schools, can come out of high school, do a coding bootcamp, and work as a junior startup dev without college. That said, the challenge of when they hit the point that algorithms and data structures are important to their software is creation is I think unsolved so far. edX/Coursera/etc. could be a big help.

That was pretty common in the '90s dot-com boom, quite easy to get a web-dev or Perl job out of high school (or even while still in high school). However the people who skipped college for those jobs were also (on average) the hardest hit in the downturn, so many went back to college in the early 2000s. Excluding those who cashed out, of course.
