The absolute best software engineers that I've ever worked with most typically have music degrees, by a wide margin. Next most typically they went to Waterloo and then MIT, RIT or CMU. Next group are the self taught ones and then everywhere else.

OTOH, after successfully recruiting from Waterloo for over a decade, my company's recruiters suddenly decided to stop because it was more work for them even though it has consistently given great results. It's a decision we've been fighting but our recruiting org won't budge.
