> Right now, companies artificially constrain their talent pools in search of the next Zuckerberg, while the country’s best coders are actually at schools such as Arizona State, USC, and UC Irvine.

This would be great, but I wonder if it will really happen. Seems more likely companies will search for pedigree more widely.
