I have not seen any correlation between a person’s abilities as a developer and their university credentials.

- xwdv 4y agoI have, you really start to see the difference between developers without formal education and those who have computer science backgrounds once you start going into deeper things than CRUD applications or other solved problems, the kinds of things you can’t just google a solution for. Kind of like how most boot camp grads will do the specific things they learn in boot camp very well but then fall apart when you change it up on them.
- jcpst 4y agoI second this. I’ve seen great developers with degrees, and awful developers with degrees. And haven’t noticed one more than the other. Just that I’m more surprised when I see an awful dev with a degree, because they had years to study. The thing I see is, either it clicks or it doesn’t. And when it does click, you can go deeper.
