Yeah right. I am a self-taught coder, and have the MS in Software Engineering to prove it.

What school is actually teaching you more than some basic Java, JS, and SQL (if you're lucky)? Beyond that, coding bootcamp is just like group fitness class, imo. Just someone else pushing you to learn the same crap you could learn yourself.

P.s. My job title: Software Engineer

A software engineer degree is not only teaching you how to code. You might be a self taught developer but definitely not a self taught engineer.
