This article outlines an opinion that organizations either tried skills based hiring and reverted to degree required hiring because it was warranted, or they didn’t adapt their process in spite of executive vision.

Since this article is non industry specific, what are your observations or opinions of the technology sector? What about the general business sector?

Should first world employees of businesses be required to obtain degrees if they reasonably expect a business related job?

Do college experiences and academic rigor reveal higher achieving employees?

Is undergraduate education a minimum standard for a more enlightened society? Or a way to hold separation between classes of people and status?

Is a masters degree the new way to differentiate yourself where the undergrad degree was before?

Edit: multiple typos, I guess that’s proof that I should have done more college 😄

          Is that because you’re more familiar with python than PHP? What framework do you use?

            I built sites in PHP before I knew any Python.

            All of my personal web stuff is now based on Flask. I basically just replaced the P in LAMP with Python.

                Y’all keep asking that. Yes, this was a while ago. Did they completely start over from scratch with 8? Otherwise, the clusterfuck is only growing.

                  I think it would be easier for you to give me an idea of the clusterfuck you have experienced and I can let you know if that cluster is still fucking.

                  What I do know, is that it is significantly better. Nullable types, multi-catch, typed properties, arrow functions, etc.

                    I’m not going to dig up decades-old code for you to pick over - but I do recall that the labyrinthian and ever-increasingly complex and buggy behavior of the multitudinous builtins was an undending pain in the ass.
