I completely agree with @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org here 👌 Having “certificates” or “showing them off” is worthless. I for example as a Lead SRE and currently hiring actually tend to dismiss outright any CV that has them. I either ignore them or it taints my impression of them 😢 (I know I shouldn’t do this, becuase biases are bad, but I do anyway).
As @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org said learning is a good thing. We must always learn. But learning without doing is also pointless IHMO. It’s one thing to learn X, but another to do X.
This is called “practical experience”.
I always tell all my candidates that interview, go out and learn this stuff, practise, it, tinker, hack and experiment.
That’s my $0.02 worth 😅
