I know this might have been asked before (any number of times), but as someone who likes the results-driven nature of programming and has experience in building websites and webapps, but has no degree, I'd like to know the general concenses on job prospects these days. A lot of people I know tell me it heavily depends on the company, and that it might be better to freelance. I'm not looking to do the digital nomad thing just yet, but I'd like to try and learn all I can while still in an academic environment. Generally, is it still easy to find work without a 4 year IT degree but maybe a solid portfolio and demonstrated (please spare me the leetcode tests) knowledge?
