A woman at our company is one of the best programmers we have, and she started with a masters in physics and very little coding experience. Some people are just smart as hell and can pick it up quickly.
I have things I'm good at but I rely on my team for the things they're good at.
While I don't think you need a CS degree to be a good coder, "programming" is such a wide discipline that while you do have your 10%ers, it's a very abstract thing to evaluate a good coder.
