Yes, I read the article. Under the section "Master’s degree & years of experience", the author writes: "No surprises here. I’ve ranted quite a bit about the disutility of master’s degrees, so I won’t belabor the point." And provides a link to another post the author has written. Look for ("disutility of masters degrees"). That page will contain more of the content we are discussing. This is what I was referring to when I wrote: "This is fully acknowledged in the text of the article referenced in a link, but unless people follow it, I do think the message may be a bit misleading." I would agree that no data is provided here, the author simply states MS degrees are an indicator of poor technical performance "in my experience" and goes on to list reasons why this might be the case. I'm sure there's a reasonable case to be made that an MS in CS isn't worth the time, effort, and money, even from a top school. But I don't think that grouping these degrees with MS degrees in Info Sys (among others) and then reporting experiences without that distinction provides much useful insight into the topic.
