But you need a degree to be a good developer.
You don't need a degree to learn anything. I personally believe the vast majority of people don't have the discipline or desire to learn a craft as difficult as writing software on their own, but plenty of people can learn to be an amazing software engineer without a degree. There is absolutely no knowledge that only exists in proprietary secretive knowledge bases controlled by universities that cannot be learned outside of college.
