Comment Comment by chollida1 > If someone got an 'A' in UT Austin's honors OS class, I wouldn't even hesitate to interview them. It's a very good proxy for a good programmer.Ihave no idea if UT Austin is a good comp sci program or if you're being sarcastic. This is the first I've heard of it.Assuming you're being serious, then Joel Spolsky mentioned something similar in one of the stackoverflow podcasts.His point was that a "top" school wouldn't get you hired directly but it would get you interviewed before someone else all other things being equal. parent chollida1 13 years ago
