By the time students graduate from a traditional university with a CS degree Lambda School students have 3.5 years of job experience and have earned about $300,000 of income

That's a little skewed, if you asked people whether they'd hire a CS grad or an engineer _without_ a CS degree but with that experience, the industry as a whole (unjustly) would be split.
-
That said the whole pipeline is super busted and if LambdaSchool manages to make a dent in how training and hiring is done, that would be great. Nobody should be going through a CS degree to learn to program.
-
I don’t think they’d be split evenly at all. I’d guess the vast, vast majority would take experience over degree.
-
I think the good part of the industry would, but 'good' is pareto distributed.

Yeah but in a decade it’s someone with 13.5 years experience and no degree vs a college grad with 10 years.
-
People don’t stress about your degree if you have 13 years of experience
-
Maybe it’s dependent on the field, but it’s usually at least considered if not necessary if you’re looking at higher level management

Yesterday I saw a nice presentation by
@resingh on data based hiring. His findings show that work piece samples are the best predictor of job success. Years of experience is dead last among 8-9 factors. Just a thought. -
Have a link to that?

It was at an event by http://datascience.com yesterday. Not sure if they’ll publish slides, but here’s the info:https://www.datascience.com/company/events/elevate/san-francisco-livestream-2018 …
