- Although I've met many good or great programmers without degrees, *ALL* of
- them could have gotten degrees, but they dropped out to hack. Furthermore,
- they usually dropped out of good schools.
-
- On the other hand, I've seen many bad programmers without degrees who
- could not have gotten degrees from good schools (and could not have even
- gotten into good schools...)
-
- Are there many good or great programmers without degrees who could not have
- have obtained a degree from a good school if they had wanted to?
