That is embarrassing but it doesn't necessarily mean anything. What matters is did they end up a competent software engineer.

  The proof is in the quality of the product they work on, apparently...

  “Pretty high up manager” implies competent careerist, not software engineer. Especially at a company like GM.

  I understand that all heuristics are imperfect but P(good engineer | failed cs 101 multiple times) is so close to 0 it is a rounding error.
