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 😄

    JavaScript doesn’t run on a Commodore 64 either, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use it.

    I’ll still argue that an efficient web app will be a significantly better experience than waiting for pages to load, even on a 10 year old tablet.

    And to support that, I do most of my mobile testing on my old iPhone 6—which is, coincidentally, 10 years old. I don’t have trouble with JavaScript on that.

    I think what it comes down to is there are a lot of unskilled developers out there that misuse JavaScript… and PHP.

      And both are complete clusterfucks, so it’s not that surprising.

      But at this point it’s literally just a case of “old man yells at cloud.”

            🤷‍♂️ kinda sounds like you might be doing things the hard way.

                    Where you didn’t actually have any specific complaints other than your poor implementation of JavaScript and PHP? Yes I recall. I assume you don’t actually currently do this for a living?
