> that’s why people need a CS degree That's the wrong takeaway. Plenty of people know how to build "what's needed" instead of "what's requested", CS degree or not. I'm not super confident it correlates at all, but if I were to make a guess, I'd say that people with CS degrees are more likely to focus on the wrong things (eg: take requirements as they are without thinking about the why and optimize the requirements given to them) compared to people who got into tech other ways. But that's just based on anecdotal data, won't apply everywhere and so on.
