Ask HN: Do you need a CS degree to be Linux/PHP Developer?

2 points by shire 12y ago

I want to get into Programming with PHP development. I also like linux so maybe I'll have a chance at becoming a linux programmer or SYS Admin someday. Most likely I'd like to freelance as PHP eventually. My question is do I need a degree to be considered a job to do either one of those?

No not really. Wouldn't hurt for sure, but many employed professional developers don't have CS degrees.
