    Degrees are meaningless, excepting places like CalTech. I’ve known too many ‘programmers’ who had a CS degree yet were damn near useless to think otherwise. Not to mention my own CS degree taught me almost nothing.

        I wouldn’t say it was a shit university, part of it is that I knew how to write code before I got there. But the CS program wasn’t great. My entire point is, if someone has a CS degree from University X and you don’t know if that program at that university is any good, the degree is meaningless. If the university’s CS program isn’t any good, you can’t count on the degree meaning anything.
