It’s kind of amusing to tell somebody whose prior ventures were “how do we do tech hiring better” and “being the interim security team for small companies, and then helping hire their replacements” that they seem pretty far removed from new talent pipelines.
- dogman144 5y agoNot sure what to tell you, I’m pretty close to the same hiring pipelines and outcomes tracking as well. There is huge nuance to the cert topic, but it’s silly to hold a binary “they’re worth nothing” view.
- akerl_ 5y agoThe most I’ll concede is that certs are very useful in identifying job opportunities: if a tech job uses certs to assess a candidate/employee’s skills or value, it’s a good indicator to not take that job. There’s not huge nuance here.
- tptacek 5y agoFWIW: the interim security team company is still going strong; I'm just not there anymore (I'm at Fly.io).
