At the same time, I&#x27;ve seen an awful lot of coders set out on a course of action that is easy, provided they first solve the generalized Halting Problem.<p>When I observe that the first thing they need to is solve the Halting Problem, they&#x27;ve never heard of it, but they&#x27;re going to get cracking straight away on it... &lt;facepalm &#x2F;&gt;<p>I don&#x27;t have a CS degree, technically. I have a Mech E degree with an awful lot of EE&#x2F;CS coursework and work experience along the way. IME, companies aren&#x27;t focused on the degree per-se, but on knowing that you have basic competence. My non-CS degree has never (knowingly) been an issue for me.
