This is great. I am have hired many many engineers over many years, and I have not seen a significant difference in the quality of engineers who had a formal CS degree vs. another quantitative degree (physics, math etc.). I have noticed some differences in engineers who have gone through bootcamps, but they are usually great at getting things done, so it has never mattered.

Also curious if there is a list somewhere out there for similar self-taught path for other subjects?
