Interestingly, I know of plenty of English majors that could ace a class in boolean logic or set theory...both core underpinnings of good developers. They understand that words and symbols have very distinct meanings, which is surprisingly lacking in a lot of professional developers that I know. I do not come from an English background, nor an engineering/CS background...and while I am not a developer (I do code, but not full time), I can lead a team of developers just fine within my area of expertise. I wouldn't hesitate to put an English major with moderate coding skills on a team that was tasked with Natural Language Processing.
