100% agree -- at the end of the day, no matter what your background is, if you are interested in building something, doing something, or working with a particular team, the bullet points on a job posting are worthless.

We will take a hardcore guy who never even went to high school who codes open source projects or has built great things over a CS guy from Stanford but has never coded production code in his life, no question. I think anyone who says they are looking for 'top CS schools' would agree. Except Google. They really want those degrees, go figure.
