Bill the Lizard (if that is his real name) wrote an interesting post revisiting the perennial debate of whether a formal Computer Science education is worthwhile for programmers or not. Bill makes several good points in the post and the comments. I’m paraphrasing here but he basically accuses self-taught programmers who dismiss a university education of arguing from a position of ignorance. If you haven’t experienced it for yourself, how do you know it wouldn’t have been beneficial?
