It's hard to say though. I dropped out of university (CS major) after two years and I have spent most of my time building out the front-end of multiple projects. That is not to say that is true for all or even most people.

Personally, I don't like asking whether one person is smarter than another. Everybody brings their own set of experiences to the table, making each people smart in their own right.

I also don't believe that holding a degree in computer science necessarily makes a person a better developer. Sure, there is some correlation because those driven to computers are probably driven to computer science in college, but there are plenty of people with no passion that get a CS degree because they heard they could make some money.

Who knows? It's a little bit of everything, I guess. :)
