I don't know coding and development - but I do know my side of the world - the current trend is certification in various technologies or organizations - for example Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) versus getting your masters; however 5-7 years ago, everyone needed a master's. These things come and go in cycles.
So my suggestion to find the position you want to hold and see what requirements they have - are they just looking for X-years of experience? Then great, you can go gets your master's (don't do the Ph.D); and then focus on technologies. If they are looking for certifications, then go get those. At least in the much small Info. Assurance field we can have people pick them up by the dozens.
