A technical degree can land you interviews, but how well you code is what matters the most at the end of the day. Experience matters the second most to actual ability. My own experience has been while I have a technical degree (B. S. Math & Physics, M. S. Math), even those degrees weren't enough to land me interviews most of the time. I had to teach myself programming to land interviews and my first job with the help of a recruiter.
