Not sure how true that was. 30yrs ago, 1986, you had the real "Silicon Valley giants founded in garage" people. Mostly self-taught.

Right, but don't you think the less ability you have, the more your credentials matter vs ability/independent accomplishment?

sometimes even high ability people need certain credentials. Need an MD to be a doctor, etc. So, overall, no
