Can someone become a full-stack developer without a computer science degree

by AailaKhan09 . Updated 1 week, 4 days ago

Can someone become a successful full-stack developer without having a computer science degree? I’ve seen many people learn web development through online courses, self-practice, bootcamps, and real projects instead of following a traditional university path. In today’s market, do clients and companies care more about skills, portfolio, and real experience, or is having a CS degree still a major advantage? I’d love to know from experienced developers how realistic it is to build a strong career in full-stack development without a formal degree.
