Papers that show you are experienced? What about certifications? You pay the fee and here you are!


Let's imagine: a guy is writing some open-source software, places it on GitHub or somewhere else,
a firm then comes up and say "hmm, we need a specialist like that, let's write an email to him".

Or the same guy writes the same stuff and one day he starts thinking "hmm, let me send
the stuff I do to $company_name". And they then hire him.

There are some links I've found in the internet:

It's only in Google.

Some opinions from FB guys.

I personally believe you don't need it, I simply would like to know how true is that.
Companies, as far as I see, nowadays look at what you can do. not where you've been
studying. Then it comes, you have a degree but know pretty much nothing and thus
you clean toilets, but that guy with seven years of school knows everything and he's
a developer.

My two cents
