I could remember some 10 years ago web developers were not considered or regarded as programmers, even here on nairaland there used to be a fight between web developers and computer science students.
The fact that these web guys make more money even caused most CSE students/graduates to get angrier.
This fight is not limited toNairalnd alone, it happens on almost any forum at that time.

Now it seems the science guys may be winning now as things have changed.
Now if you didn't study computer science or Mathematics in the University you may find it difficult to cope during interview sessions and tests.

The term "Web developer" or "Coder" has been faced out gradually hence the word Software Engineer/Developer is in vogue now.

You need to be grounded now in Data structures, design patterns, algorithms, etc for you to fit in.
If you didn't study computer science while in school you may find it hard to navigate your way,
Then with the way the tech world is going so many branches are now been created eg DevOps and the likes.

Let me know what you guys think

Only the naive and valueless coders will be edged out o the industry. The experienced ones who have been in the game for sometime will always make money more than the computer science graduates you're talking about. You think it's about degree and some stupid theories that are being taught in schools, the real coders don't need interviews for jobs, they know how they make their money.
