[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article of course references successful dropouts who all attended the top schools for the most part.

[b]The top schools are still the ones most successful in attracting the very students the article claims are in highest demand. [/b] It’s probably why those kids are most comfortable taking a leave to found a startup (which these schools make it easy to do)…even if they don’t return.[/quote]

bingo. undergrad pedigree will matter more than ever, not less. [/quote]

Maybe…it’s not that its the pedigree that matters vs the kinds of kids the school attracts.

Probably 50%+ of MIT or Stanford or even Columbia’s CS students have been coding for 10+ years and are AI-native in how they develop.

So, in theory if you want to hire the kids with the skills described in the article, you will find a higher hit rate.

However, the same companies won’t ignore a kid from San Jose State that also has those skills and they probably fund programs at SJSU to create the grads they want.[/quote]
