I don't have formal CS education, but I've been working as a developer for 25 years.
In the firm I've been in that last 15 years, only developers with 10+ years of experience actually make a difference.
Others are either still learning, or just doing menial work.
It makes me a bit sad this trend of "become a developer in 3 months".
It's just a dream.
