      Immigration requirements are one thing that has been left out of "you don't need a degree" discussion. I'm extremely fortunate and lucky to have had a popular open source project, which allowed me to get the only* US work visa that doesn't require a degree.https://twitter.com/ur_friend_james/status/1102996280710619136 …

      I’m glad that I got a university degree (not even a CS degree) because without it I wouldn’t have been able to get a US working visa (unless I had ~9-12 years of work experience)

      Afair O1 is also doable w/o academic degree. "just" requires exeptional contributions or very public "expert" persona Friend of mine went on sort of a conference tour to have enough "expert credibility" in this process

      I wrote @yarnpkg and @babeljs so I had a bunch of media publications that talk about me. I also have dozens of conference talks and podcasts. I also had to get reference letters from high-profile people to vouch for me and my impact on the industry.

      btw i understood his/her question as generic "you" not "you = seb" i think in your case the O1 isn't even a question - the US is lucky to have you

      In the case, the vague categories that I satisfied were: 1. Original contributions of major significance to a field 2. Evidence I performed a critical role for organizations and establishments that have a distinguished reputation

      3. Evidence that material about me and my accomplishments has been written in professional publications and major media outlets 4. That I receive significantly high remuneration for my services in comparison to others in the field

      All of those were supported with references to media publications, my compensation information, statistics, and quotes from experts that vouched for me.

          I wrote a recommendation for a friend to get that visa one time. It was the most enjoyable thing I’ve written. Basically: “I AM NOT EXAGGERATING WHEN I SAY THAT [FRIEND] IS THE MOST BRILLIANT PERSON ALIVE AND AMERICA WILL BE 10% BETTER JUST BY THEIR PRESENCE”
