As a SoftLayer customer of ~5 years, this has me pretty bummed. I'd hate to see SoftLayer's straightforward product offerings get subsumed by IBM's enterprise-driven culture.

Anecdotally, Computer Engineering degrees have a bad rep with HR and hiring managers. The degrees seem to cover too little EE to do hardware work and too little CS to do software work. I agree about the crisis in training and mentorship. A
