Gee, this degree - no degree discussion has gotten so interesting and
informative that I'm beginning to miss the certification arguments...
But, there may be some profiles or patterns emerging (not in any
particular order):
degreed vs. not degreed
casual vs. dressy
certified vs. just normally weird
female vs. male
programmer vs. non-programmer
Maybe I should include young vs. old...
Lighten up folks.
