"College is needed" comments are so weird in a field that can be done on an island with a solar battery. CS isn't medicine or engineering, and the field is so young that requiring a "formal education" most likely will have negative effects of teaching poor practices that are not up to date

Many courses are free and books can be purchased outside of university
