Education (or teaching people how to think) will always be important.
Curriculums which attempt to teach and certify specific things will always be of varying degrees of usefulness, but in order for them to become optional their importance to your career will need to be greatly reduced.
That means that entire industries need to learn how to hire people based on what they know and what they can do rather than what someone says they can do.
- caseysoftware 10y agoFor close to 10 years, I've been encouraging developers to build portfolios instead of just resumes. Whether that is on Github or sharable project details (don't break NDAs!) or whatever, I don't care. But we have to be able to talk about our work and show its results whenever possible.
