Just did some interviews last week. Read through each candidate's experience section so I would have an idea of what they worked on and how I should calibrate my technical questions.
Stopped reading after the technical section because quite frankly educational attainment, in my experience, is at best loosely correlated with being able to think clearly and get things done.
Also, kudos to you rxsel!
Im a huge huge huge believer of there being a massive opportunity in disrupting education, and I mean beyond the “shoehorn tech into everything” approach.
Education in the general term is the literal liberating factor within an individual. The more you understand the world around you the more confident you become in that world.
That’s why I push all my people and anyone who is willing to listen towards tech and other industries that are more “merit based” on the spectrum. As well as gravitating towards well paying trades that can fund their future intellectual endeavors.
I can go on about education forever but I’ll just stop before I get carried away :)
Thank you for the kind words @jbhouse
