I do think startups are the key. Startups generally don't have the money for silly hiring processes so they actually take the time to talk to people that apply for positions.

That and the money they save on stupid HR process goes to my salary so that is great too.

I disagree, i've worked for a few fortune 500 companies. The fact that I don't have a degree has never stopped me from getting a programming job. On the other hand, i've definitely had the feeling like there was a glass ceiling.

Yeah, but the guy in this story is in his 40s. While a startup might not care about education, most of them definitely care about age.
