I've met people like that too.
It's called cheating, lots of people do it.
Most worthless dev I've met was a graduate of comp sci who couldn't hold a candle compared to a guy that did a dev boot camp.
The best dev I've met so far didn't even have any credentials whatsoever, second next best did 2yr associates.
Tie for 3rd best with associate's and 4yr degree.
Okay but as a guitarist, the guitarist from Galneryus is absolutely fucking insane.
I've known about them for a long time and they've evolved spectacularly.
Also, you're either a music enjoyer or annoying snob. Do not be a snob.
