We're hiring a junior for work, and when it came down to the last three, I vouched for the trans girl. In my eyes (and in the eyes of the 2 other people that have been involved in the process) all three are pretty much equal, but because I jerk it to trannies I vouched for her. The new hire will be mentored by me, so the final call was implicitly left for me to make. Suits have to approve BUT it's pretty much a done deal. I will however NOT misuse my position to harm my mentee. I am not joking. I take my job very seriously.
NEVER say chasers don't do anything for trannies. We do our best

Trannies truly don’t seem to get this. Why do they think lesbians have basically never experienced serious discrimination, while gays get bashed? Because lesbians make straight men’s PPs hard. It’s literally that simple. APPEAL TO THE MALE GAZE FOR POWER. Cis women learned that trick, got their foot in the door, and they’re basically taking over western civilization now.

I can guarantee you that anyone that gets past our 2nd interview round is a better coder than you (or anyone you know or will ever know) will ever be. Cope with that, homo

When hiring, how heavily do you weigh degree and school reputation? My friend is great at coding and got a CS job without even going to college, but I'm wondering if that was just the hiring environment 8 years ago. I'm curious as a mtf with a math degree.

Things were different 8 years ago, yes. Da market needed lots of programmers and there weren't enough programmers without jobs.
Nowadays degree and school matters but that's typically because there are so many good candidates to choose from.
I studied math as well and I would rather hire math majors over CS majors (since anything hard we do a math major can probably learn while CS majors are a bit hit-and-miss (I am biased though, I TA'd in (abstract) algebra for CS students at a pretty good school and they were kinda unimpressive)). I, and lots of other people who recruit, would say that if you studied math or physics and you can demonstrate coding ability then you are equal to the CS majors. However that can also depend on the role one is expected to take in the company or the team you're put on (but there's always lots of flexibility as long as you're wanted (i.e. a role will be found for you if the recruiters think that you are good)). e.g. the role we hired for will rely heavily on understanding and designing distributed systems, so a CS major would be a better fit than a math major (although I was personally very willing to heavily mentor a promising candidate that didn't know much about distributed systems).
In the end having a degree is just proof that you can commit to something and finish. Important. We, as your coworkers that will end up becoming responsible for the work you do, don't want lazy bums and suits don't want lazy bums either.
Having a degree in a "heavier" field (like math) is proof that you're probably not retarded. Also important for the work we do.
And then you have to remember that, depending on the market (but realistically very true nowadays), you are competing against a bunch of people that are also very solid candidates. So don't stress if you have to interview at a billion places before you land a job.
You got this.

The Math double degree is a credentialism cope, it worked 5 years ago but not anymore. We’re in the late stages, most CS students in uni I see are now rushing out in 3 years (standard for US is 4) and not bothering with minors or double majors, instead just work on their personal networking since way more effective to get a job.
I think the end solution to the job market is a basically a queue. Government will confirm you have enough skill/credentials and then hand out jobs to people waiting in line.
