I've seen as many bad and good programers with and without degrees. The fact that you can teach yourself to program doesn't mean you will do it the right or wrong way. I don't have a degree, and consider myself a fairly good programmer, and after more than twenty + years I'm still trying to improve my skils. Is not about reading a couple of books. I've read a lot of books, seen a lot of online lectures and codeded and coded and coded, critiziced it, done it again and again. Although, regarding the issue of non degree professionals in other disciplines, there are with no dobut, but in ours is specialy noticiable due to it's recent history. Most probably will fall towards the side of other older, more mature sciences in the future.
