Well I'm putting weight on it because other people do. The unfortunate thing about the tech industry is that there is no Bar exam and most education is gained from experience so you can't just filter on the quality of the school the engineer went to. It's also an industry full of people who aggressively climb the ladder immediately out of school to maximize their compensation (understandable) but this dilutes the meaning of their title if they aren't actually that good at their jobs. I think there should be a certification agency that certifies people at very high levels in a variety of subjects like python competency.
