          We’re from a different era my dude. These days it’s all analysts, architects and data scientist.

          Who can’t do jack shit without guys like you.

            Architects where I work don’t have degrees, they’re programmers who have shown they understand a significant chunk of our enormous system (government IT)

            Analysts are a mixed bag. Some have relevant education, others have relevant experience

            Data scientists seem to all be appropriately degreed
