I don't like these "so and so proven to be a great coder" type articles. Who cares what you have previously studied or worked with? Sure some skills can carry over, but with training any competent person can be a developer. We may not all be the equivalent of Vonnegut(well, English-studying folks), but then again not everyone needs to write an OS kernel for that matter. If you're a great developer there's a reason for that; you're intelligent and have a strong understanding. Understanding concepts can be learned over time, intelligence can't.
