Just a few months ago I started teaching myself how to program (JavaScript, JQuery, HTML, CSS, so far), so I'm nowhere near experienced enough for a job, but I was curious -- can developers without CS degrees find jobs? Is there a stigma in, say, the Silicon Valley around people without degrees, or is it lax?
Also, if I were to try and get a job in the field down the road (still, without a CS degree), what would be the best way to apply? With a portfolio/Github profile with my work?
