I feel like the wording misrepresents the results in the "In Demand Qualifications" section.
> There's a popular belief that recruiters favor candidates with CS degrees from prestigious universities. But it turns out that they actually care about what you've done — not where you went to school
But over 40% employers say that they care about your educational qualification. It doesn't' make sense to say "they actually care about what you've done - not where you went to school" with this result. If you don't have a college degree in CS, you're going to have a significantly tougher time getting your foot in the door, so therefore, even if it's not the MOST important credential you need to get a job, it's unfortunately still very important as a pre-requisite. We still don't have a good signal for that kind of preparation if the candidate doesn't have a lot of publically viewable work.
