HN's headline is incredibly misleading, and no doubt a feeble attempt to corral the anti-education crowd. FTA: "That has included the requirement of the addition of solid college grade-point averages and a preference for higher-level educational institutions for incoming resumes.” Not a focus on GPA, an addition of it. A lot of people will argue that GPA/educational background is meaningless, but I'm hard-pressed (knowing, as I do, people within my major who have 2.0 GPAs and 4.0 GPAs) to believe that if you must choose between two entry-level candidates -- both of whom have great open-source contributions and interview well -- that you shouldn't take the more academically qualified one above the other.
