I'm so sad to see people uselessly spend their money and time to learn all of a company marketing content.
Imagine if walmart was selling a certification on all the best way to distribute your money in their stores...
Anyway, everyone is free to do whatever he wants, but I'm very annoyed and worried about the network effect of such a thing.
For example, because of his bullshit aws certificates, this person will have the feeling of being part of a special club, and a sunk cost incentive to push for whatever possible aws solution to any problem instead of anything else.
And sometimes companies could use that as a requirement or plus in recrutement against other candidates, when, in fact, anyone will be able to do the same job by just spending a few hours only reading the doc for what is really needed!
