You don’t need a CS degree to become a professional developer.

  Of course it is not required. My reading of what was written was that it helps. I fully agree.

  Correct, and I never claimed otherwise. Whether you have a credential becomes less important the more experience you have. There will always be silly companies that do a hard-filter on degree, but you can have a perfectly happy and successful career without them. But winter has come. Available positions will become way more competitive, with more people chasing after few opportunities. It may be unfair, but the combination of no degree and no experience will be a large handicap.
