I had the same reaction. Yes, it’s good to try to find meaningful work (a point well made my the author). Selling your Harvard diploma doesn’t seem to have any relationship to that point, other than giving an excuse to repeatedly remind the reader that you went to Harvard. Which seems contrary to the message of the piece.

I don't even know how to respond when they mention studying CS there - I mean, there are better universities for that, but I haven't responded with, "Oh, you couldn't get into MIT?" :) (I worked for a Harvard CS grad once. He made sure I'd never forget it.)
