Yesterday someone (ML, CS PhD, Stanford) said he would not hire a person who is online educated in Machine Learning. Who here agrees and who thinks differently?

I can tell you this much as somebody who has been involved in hiring quite a few engineers- the correlation between schooling and performance is pretty weak relative to what seems to be expected. Which is why I rely on actual submitted code to evaluate.
Basically what schooling doesn’t provide so much of are the key personality traits that drive actual successful problem solving. So no, I wouldn’t rule out the one that doesn’t have the degree- just look at what they actually can do instead.

There’s a CS prof at Stanford who is often quoted as saying to every student that “a little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y intercept” Even if schooling provides you with big gains across all important areas of competency (it doesn’t) you can still get out-sloped

Ha I love that, especially as somebody -just- getting into the field I my mid-thirties. Talk about a little slope.
