When I see things like nerf guns, ping pong tables, free soda and snacks mentioned early on in the job description I pretty much pass it up right away because I assume that is all offered instead of competitive salary and equity, and to attract younger developers. The things that really matter are office layout (open floor plan vs private offices, etc), ability to telecommute, salary, equity and opportunity to work with talented coworkers and fun and interesting projects. I'll do work at work and then go home to play with my kids.

Why would someone need a "formal" education to do this?

Good question: I've been one or the other for 19 years and I dont know what the difference is. When I tell non-tech people I am a "software developer" they think I'm some kind of "designer" rather than programmer - when I tell them I am a software "engineer" they think I pull cables for a living... Mostly I just tell them I am a programmer.
