Just over two weeks before this article, the author had written another describing their first week as a software dev where they were a 'complete newbie'. This article comes across as rather arrogant to me. I agree that people of different backgrounds can bring new skills to the table, but the article seems to implicitly imply that people with the author's background are better at the things that really matter for a software engineering career than a CS graduate. It feels like this article is just the author trying to boost their own confidence.
