This sounds an awful lot like a college diploma.
- tayo42 8mo agoColleges aren't all equal. Professional certifications are different
- hunterpayne 8mo agoProfessional certifications have a terrible reputation for good reason. You are perhaps too young to know why this is a silly idea. But its been tried and it failed spectacularly.
- acheron 8mo agoIt works in essentially every other profession. Programming isn’t that special.
- jjmarr 8mo agoIn essentially every other profession the credential is gated behind years of work experience and often a degree or course. We already have such a credential. It's called "lasting two years at a FAANG+ without getting fired". If you do that you can get interviews anywhere.
- operatingthetan 8mo agoIt appears that the coding job will be some variation will be some variation of vibecoding going forward, so a professional cert might be good enough.
- tayo42 8mo agoI have an example of a certification that is useful in my first comment...
- bigfishrunning 8mo agoLots of people get through engineering school but are terrible engineers. Interviews are important (and difficult... Not many people are good interviewers!)
