He's on the fast path to a research job, buried in the bowels of some company, working on middle ware. Either that or he'll simply get a teaching job at one of the schools he decries in his post.
- elblanco 17y agoFeel free to downvote, but at least bother to type some reasoning. The number of tier-1 PhD grads that end up in teaching posts at state schools is pretty tremendous. And as anyone who reads this site knows, good schooling != life/work experience. Unless Mr. Guo changes his attitude a bit, he's unlikely to find success outside of academia or pure research departments of large companies.
- scott_s 17y agoI think you misunderstood his arguments. He did not in any way denigrate the non "name brand" schools.

- scott_s 17y agoSaying X has advantages over Y is not the same as saying Y is crap.
- elblanco 17y agoI don't believe you read the article. He's edited it now, but the ending was basically advice that "if you didn't go to X, don't try to compete, you'll only be met with disappointment". That's (was before the edit) calling Y crap pretty much.
- scott_s 17y agoI skimmed it - forgive me that I didn't want to read the whole thing. Given that I feel you have consistently misinterpreted his words in the main article in question, I doubt I would agree with your current interpretation if I could check it against his original words.
