Hiding Behind Certification – An overreliance on IT sheepskins is a recipe for disaster:
For reasons I fully understand but totally reject, many CIOs increasingly look to certification and accreditation standards as “market signals” indicative of professional quality and reliability.
The truth – as we all so bitterly know – is that the IT world is filled with certified, credentialed and accredited idiots.
An interesting read.
That was a good read, though I am starting to feel a want for getting myself certified in pretty much everything. I can be like, one of the few people with certifications who actually know things (or is good at pretending, whatev).
I was considering it too, but I’d rather do something else, like eat broken glass flavored with fermented cod eyes.
