This seems like a pedigree pony show.
The best engineers in my experience:
1. Are highly productive in writing good quality code/systems etc
2. Know when to take responsibility and lead a feature/project etc
3. Know how to mentor well.
4. Know how to quickly slice a complex problem into digestable/achievable chunks.
5. Know how to deliver software on time and on budget.
6. May or may not have a CS degree.
7. May or may not have attended some high pedigree school.
8. May or may not have worked at some high pedigree corporation.

Everyone's the best, only the best comes here. STEM! MIT! CAL! STANFORD! We're changing the world, doing stuff that matters!
