I think it's pretty telling that most courses outside school aren't structured... Course: Math, Grade: A-F. ...but... Course: Math E, Grade: Pass/Fail. Cours

I think it's pretty telling that most courses outside school aren't structured... Course: Math, Grade: A-F. ...but... Course: Math E, Grade: Pass/Fail. Course: Math D, Grade: Pass/Fail. Course: Math C, Grade: Pass/Fail. ...etc. I think the former mindset unfortunately can be quite common in the tech industry. "We need an A grade programmer". When what you really are looking for is a "C grade programmer with A grade ruby, B grade security, B grade network knowledge".
