This is a very good point. I talk a lot about how you don’t need a CS degree to do the work, but the “really expensive union card” (as @kennethmayer calls it) is really useful in other ways.https://twitter.com/joannecheng/status/1102690296721223680 …
I mean, there's arguably no line of work where you strictly _need_ the degree to do the work. You can be great at the practise of being a brain surgeon or structural engineer or judge without a degree.

Would you be able to perform a brain surgery without a degree?

Me personally, no, but the degree is just a piece of paper (or data) that certifies that you have passed certain tests and signed the proper assurances. It contributes nothing to your _ability_ to perform brain surgery, though it is often required to have one to be _allowed_ to.

I agree with that, I just thought that some places would enforce legislation on it, the same as if you want to build a bridge without being a civil engineer, and I wondered how that works.
