Not to belittle folks with a comp sci degree, but is it not obvious that self taught folks would be worthy of more serious consideration instead of making them do leetcode puzzle that have no real-world value? Bc I am self taught, and having the discipline just get competent at writing code takes a ton of discipline and genuine interest. Think of all the open source projects that have been created and/or maintained by self taught programmers - ruby on rails, vuejs, nextjs, nuxt django, laravel, nodejs, express, etc. My experience lately has been the opposite. Now that the job market is tight, I get a cold reception when hiring managers find out I am self taught. Could just be my anecdotal experience, but I would not be surprised if a person with a comp sci degree would look down on person who does not have one, especially if they are making a hiring decision.
