Alejandro, I don't think so. Yes, it depends on the company and the decision-maker, but my experience has been that interviews, sample problems, and discussions with others seem to be far better predictors. If you want to hire someone with an eye for visual detail, hire someone who has made beau

Alejandro, As an employer, I disagree. Certs, degrees, blah, blah, blah predict absolutely zero. When resumes come our way for folks with a bunch of certs I tend to be suspicious that I'm being had. I've seen engineers from the same school with vastly differing abilities, knowledge, and skill ev
