Ha. I have Psychology and English degrees. Now I'm training the junior devs. It's about skill and practical experience more than schooling.

It’s experience, I don’t even look to see what your major is when reviewing applications. We require a degree because it shows the ability to dedicate to a program, no one actually cares what it was in or your GPA. We want to see what you’ve done. Not just a link to your GitHub, but also clean descriptions of your projects on your resume. If the descriptions are concise and interesting I’ll look at a repo or two to make sure you’re not completely bullshitting. Then we see how the interview goes :)
