Interesting. So how come you ended up 80 % in marketing and 20 % as a developer? Do you have a CS background? Or is it perhaps an economic/business admin degree? If I am not mistaking, James McNellis from Microsoft had a philosophy degree. So apparently it doesn't matter what degree you have, the only metric that seems to be of importance is your ability to code.

My degree never taught me anything useful as is the case with most of the degrees i assume. I started my career by learning JAVA, PHP and some frameworks. After a few years started working on digital marketing (again self taught) and fast forward another few years, I work in marketing mostly, but do develop websites or tech products when needed.
