Moderate stutterer here, and I used to be much more severe as a kid. Just sharing that I work in the tech industry (founder/product manager, not developer which is arguably much more talking) and was able to achieve everything you've said here. Not saying it's easy and every situation is different, but I was always really determined to not let my stutter stop me, searching out situations to speak in even public speaking and it really helped. Especially with a computer based job, you have a great chance to succeed especially if you can get great at writing to help you get your ideas across. ​ I would encourage you to try speech therapy though if you can. It might give you strategies to reduce your stuttering and also accept it further.
