I live in a country where software engineers often have engineering degrees.
What that means in practice is that they study math and physics for the first 2-3 years of their degree, instead of computer science or software engineering.
Does that make them build better systems than Californian devs? Based on company revenues and salaries, I’d say no.

Majority of silicon valley devs are immigrants though, they are good because they are sourced and filtered from all over the world not thanks to American education.
