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?

It's an antiquated and elitist viewpoint. There are no "online" and "offline" educations, nor "formal" and "informal". The best people are 90%+ self-educated, whether they have a degree from Stanford or not. The value-add of degrees in CS is increasingly marginal.

I agree if that you select candidates by degrees instead of tested expertise, you're doomed. But i still watch the best OS projects created by people with CS degrees or equivalent (math, astro, physics, eng, etc.)

Having any kind of undergrad prooves your ability to work scientifically correct and gives you some rough background on many things. You probably only need very few of those later.

Lol nope. Not a single professor in my university knows what a unit test is.

A role of leadership is to create culture. We create culture through the people we hire. I could not say whether it is right or wrong since I don't know the culture he has been hired to build. I could say though that the resulting culture would not represent my preferences :)

Your standard of enterprise quality may be different. Most code written in big non-tech corporations are actually embarrassing
