CCIE is probably the only cert worth a damn. It's hard as hell and they require in-lab, in-person, on-equipment testing or at least they used to. It's very valuable. The online certs like MCSE, MCSD etc can all be easily hacked via brain dumps. With programming, being able to answer technical questions doesn't mean much without the craftsmanship / artistry it takes to actually build stuff.
