you mean like go to university and get a real CS degree and have companies use that to give you a job? oh wait…

this was supposed to be how it works but then some indian dude came along and made a platform and then some woman wrote a book and got in a HR decision making position in a FAANG and destroyed the value of everyone’s degrees by introducing coding interviews you can only pass if you grind them

No, the exam would be standardized. There would be no need for a CS degree and you would need to take the exam even if you do have a CS degree.

that is what university is for

Most of the best developers I hired never went to a university.

And if they did, there’s a strong element of being self-taught.

No, it’s not. At all. But it’s what they’d like you to believe.

Development teams benefit from both self taught and university taught developers.

Self taught developers bring a different perspective.
