See my comment above - not the person in question (to my knowledge), but also no degree and hit 2001 with 2 years experience. I'm not "hacker news material" - i.e. no Big Tech or Startup experience. Just slowly, steadily worked my way up in salary mostly at small-ish (6-100 employees) software / marketing agencies or doing similar work.
