Probably, somewhere on this earth, someone has done that.
From my experience of the industry so far, I would say that computer scientists working as developers are actually a minority. There are a lot of scientists and engineers, and a few people who have self-taught themselves. Some companies care about the piece of paper, some don't. At the end of the day it usually comes down to whether you can get the work done, not where you came from.
Do you consider web development (mostly PHP but some other stuff too) part of that criteria? If so then yes, I have no degree and I've been working for 5 years.
