[LRUG] [JOBS] - Ruby Programmer Wanted FT/PT to join funded startup as lead tech/ CTO (urgent)

[Adam Carlile]

Precisely Alex, I've often thought about what my degree says about me, however I have learnt that employers are more concerned with the contents of my Github account.

Degrees often indicate that you have the capability to learn a subject, not that you're necessarily proficient at it.

I can also say that of all the developers, CTOs and computer scientists I know, degrees or where they got them has little relevance to their skills.

I have a computer science degree from a "red brick uni", and it's a passing note in my CV; never spoken of again. Certainly not what defines me.
