That certification sounds a lot like the job interviews HN constantly complains about - lots of minor Googleable trivia, no hard problem solving. I don't see how it'd be useful beyond possibly skipping the phone screen. > Could it be gamed? Of course. But then so can a University course. As can an interview. As can a coding school. It's a lot harder to game those things than it is a certification test.
