Zoho Don't Need No Stinking Ph.D. Programmers
theodp writes "When it comes to tech academic credentials, Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu has The Right Stuff: a Ph.D. in EE from Princeton. But Vembu has eschewed Google's Army-of-Ph.D.s approach to software development in favor of tapping into the ranks of high school grads who would not normally go to college for Zoho. Seeing his youngest brother succeed at programming without a college degree convinced Vembu that others could follow that example with the proper training and guidance. And studying the best employees in his own company led to another epiphany: 'What if the college degree itself is not really that useful?' thought Vembu. 'What if we took kids after high school, train them ourselves?'"
How about looking tech schools not dropping resumes from people who when to them they tech stuff that uses in the real work places vs the big schools that some are more about sports then classes also they have less filler classes that have little to no use in the work place that most IP people / codes are in.
How about hiring people who can construct sentences that make some fucking sense?
Good god man, this is the Internet in 2010 not a telegram in 1910. There isn't an extra charge for punctuation.
Indeed. What you need for that is Wolfram Alpha!

Wow, nice projection. You just extrapolated from your failure to learn significantly from public schools to the ENTIRE COUNTRY.

I would prefer to give all my money to the government and get nothing back but bad management, an engorged military, and the hatred of numerous nations. I much prefer that that money go to worthy causes such as bailing out 'too big to fail' businesses upon which we all rely upon to take our homes, call in our loans at the first opportunity, and generally treat us like the cattle we allow ourselves to be.
